Thursday January 14, 2022 - I finally caved into Kevin's pleas that we leave early for Florida. I found a state park in the panhandle that had a few sites available. We decided to drive part way on Thursday, and we stayed at a rest area in Alabama. Friday morning we only had a 4.5 hour drive, and got there a little after noon. Three Rivers State Park, has a small campground (only 30 sites) and the camping is located right on Lake Seminole, which is formed from the two rivers that empty into it (Chatahoochee and Flint) and the third (Apalachicola) that empties from it. The majority of the lake is located in Georgia. Most of the campgrounds we will be staying at, on this 2.5 month trip, are on either a river or a lake, so we decided to buy Florida freshwater fishing licenses ($47/yearly out of state). At the campground there was a nice fishing dock that we checked out at at sunset. It was a beautiful spot to fish, but that's all we did...no catching.
Saturday January 15, 2022 - We got up early and headed out for a 3.5 mile hike around the park. The trail out of the campground went along the lake and then headed out to the ranger station. We saw a bald eagle and a few deer. After lunch we went for a quick bike ride and then did a little more fishing. The wind picked up in the afternoon, and the sun gave way to lots of clouds and rain. Good thing we have the wild card games to watch tonight.
