Nine Days at my Favorite Florida State Park!!

 Wednesday, March 16, 2022 -  It was a 3 hour drive to our next park...my favorite, Ochlockonee River State Park!!  We've been here every time we've been to Florida.  It's in the middle of the Appalachicola National Forest, about an hour and a half south of Tallahassee, on the junction of two tidal rivers.  There are only 29 campsites, and hardly any day visitors, so it's a very quiet, wonderful campground.

I was sick with a head cold last weekend and looks like Kev's got it now.
