More from Tomoka

The gals enjoyed the Pioneer dudes they were dressed in period clothing and had a lot of items from that time period to share and learn about. I heard Marla say they saw a few deer and even found another Geo Cache. Then they spent an evening at the outpost and listened to the Dani play the mandolin and sing some awesome songs. This is a super place to kayak, but the gals left theirs at home this trip. this is close to home and they may come back here again. A few more pictures and peace out my friends..

Cool hats!

The end of the trail....water break time...Peace out...

October trip to Tomoka

http://www.floridastateparks.org/tomoka/

This was a special trip for the gals as they were celebrating their 11th Anniversary together and the day before that was Judi's 35th Sober AA anniversary. I am so proud of them both and even happier they found me. The trip to Tomoka was still a little warm and buggy but not as bad as Paynes Prairie was the previous month....I don't like lovebugs...ugh. Tomoka campsites are very small only a few wide ones and they are really close together. But Judi and Marla had a great time and met some really great people the last day.

Here I am!!!

Marla at the top of the fire tower what a view...

This was the best part walking the trails and heading up to the top of the fire tower. The gals didn't see bison but plan a trip back here so they can walk a few more trails. Judi didn't get a shot of the swing that was on the deck of the fire tower but it was an awesome place to sit and just peace out......... A return trip is already planned....hope to see you there...peace...hugs....and many happy camping days.....

It's Marla's Birthday....so Paynes Prairie here we come!!

My gals loved this and have placed this park at the top of their list. Lots to do and even more to see here we loved the drive to get here and no problem parking me, plenty of room. Shhhhh, don't tell Judi but she is slowly getting better at backing me in. The gals walked some trails, went Geo Caching and enjoyed the wildlife. They took a trip to Micanopy, Judi just loves saying that word, lol, I had to stay behind.
