Woke up early and walked to the spring hoping to see a manatee….SUCCESS! You have to squint to really see the little cow, but there it is. And I waited around long enough to see it come up for a breath of fresh Florida air!

My mouse balloon was still flying in the morning!

Driving across the bridge into Apalachicola

We parked the June Bug along the street in the old part of Apalachicola

Another stop for delicious oysters at Up The Creek Raw Bar
We drove along the gulf coast again and made it to our destination: Grayton Beach State Park! Florida has such amazing state parks, and we will definitely be returning here someday.
Our site, number 37, is enormous, with a gravel pad, full hook-ups and lots of extra room. We’ll camp here for three nights and then move to site number 16 for two more nights. It’s much too bitter cold at home to head north just yet, and there was an opening so we snagged it. It’s a bummer to have to break camp and move around the corner, but it’s better than heading home through snow and ice.

Site number 37 is a bit out of level, so Bob worked his magic

Campfire with dog. Perfect!
Good decision to stay put. No fun up here in the great white north. Even with the extra trouble of packing up and moving around the corner is paradise compared to ice, snow, and single digit temperatures.
But I do look forward to hearing Bob once again. He is becoming like the spring Robin. You know spring is close when BK is back live on the airwaves.
We’re freezing here right now, but you’re right — it’s better than Indiana!
