The Fran and Dave Experiment

We finally managed to pitch the tent in the Great State of Florida in the Ocala National Forest. It is a wonderful place for many reasons, not the least of which is that it feels like spring-time here.

Our first night in Florida was spent at a hotel because we were too tired after all the driving to set up camp. It was nice to be greeted by the sounds of frogs while West Virginia is experiencing freezing weather.

We would have been here sooner, but we visited Fran's son at Shaw Airforce Base in South Carolina and suffered a setback. Fran lost her glasses through no fault of her own. I'll spare you the details.

We have been exploring the National Forest all afternoon and it reminds me of a jungle. Maybe it is - I'm no expert. We saw a couple of egrets by the road - or at least things that resemble egrets. We also got to see some things that might be cockroaches but are bigger than the one's I've seen before - not that I'm overly used to them.

Yesterday had beautiful weather but today it's raining. That's okay; it's still nice and warm.

I've taken a lot of pictures and will post them as soon as I can.

(I'm sorry if this is somewhat disjointed, but I'm at the library at Silver Springs, and on a timer.)
