We left Lake Griffin State Park in Fruitland Park, FL on Friday, December 22, 2023 and drove a little over an hour southeast to Wekiva Springs State Park in Apopka, FL, just north of Orlando. We like to be at this campground during the holidays as it is not too far from our Florida kids/grandkids.

Friday, November 24th we left Wekiva Springs State Park and drove about 40 miles to Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont for another 14-night stay. That is the limit every 30 days at Florida State Parks so… We’re staying in a different loop and site this time, one we haven’t been in before. It was

We left Eastbank Campground in Bainbridge, Georgia on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 and drove 245 miles to Rodman Campground in Palatka, Florida. We got there and initially had issues getting into the site they gave us. This campground is one I’m reasonably sure we won’t be returning to visit. Our “site” was just a patch
On October 31, 2023 we left R. Shaefer Heard Campground and drove about 3 hours south to Bainbridge, Georgia where we would be spending 7 nights at the Eastbank Campground. Last year around this time we stayed at the “sister” campground on the Florida side of the lake and so this year we thought we

We left our Sherando Campground site a few minutes after 8 am on Tuesday so we would have time to dump our tanks before going to the RV dealer in Staunton to get our new, upgraded Weight Distribution Hitch (WDH) installed. That’s when I got a NEW surprise! The pipe for draining our bathroom sink
