2014 Feb 24 & 25 - Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

We arrived at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park on Monday, 2/24 and will be here for a week. On the way down Rt. 1, we saw the Goodyear Blimp on its way to its next engagement after the Daytona Speed Week. It was about 3:00 when we arrived, so we got set up and relaxed a while before cooking brats over the wood fire.

John & Rebecca, our friends from the Scamp group are here, too. We visited with them for a while during our first evening and again after our morning bike ride on Tuesday. We rode about 5 miles and spent some time at one of the swampy areas where we saw a lot of gators and water birds. We also rode to the camp office where we signed up for the Prairie Buggy Tour next Sunday morning. They only do the tour on weekends and Saturday was already booked. Glad we didn't wait any longer. We've been told by several people, including John and Rebecca who have done it three times, that the tour is a must do, so we're looking forward to it.

Marsha hasn't venture far from the beaten path because we've been told that there are lots of snakes here, including pigmy rattlers and diamondbacks. A couple of days before we arrived, a dog got a bit too curious and was bitten on the nose by a diamondback. He's at a vet hospital somewhere and will be back in the campground tomorrow. I'll bet after that vet bill, his owner will keep him on a 6 foot leash like the camp rules say!

After lunch, I took a nap on top of the picnic table while Marsha read her book. After my nap, I rode to the camp office to get a roll of quarters so we can do laundry sometime before we leave.

Enjoy the pictures.
