Last Week at Big Shoals State Park

Time is coming to a end for our stay at Big Shoals State Park.
We have really enjoyed  the time here, it has been fun and action packed 3 months.


                                               Rd 1 by Little Shoals
This is shots from Little Shoals Side of the park.  Mossy Ravine  trail.

Gil went to open the gates this morning and wild hogs was in Ranger Dylan's yard. No camera with him, but he said there was 2 large ones and about 8 babies.
Gil needed to get the mowing completed prior to our leaving. So he went to get the trailer from Stephen Foster Shop, so he could bring the mower down from Ranger Gary's house.

Dust blowing every where. Poor Gil even wearing a face mask and glasses had trash fly in his eyes.
Long hot shower needed tonight. Thank goodness, we have a great shower in our camper.
Not sure  we can salvage that shirt.  The back looks 10 times worse  than the front. And this is when he was just getting started.  Mower and trailer back to respective places, now to drive the 4 wheeler back to Ranger Gary's.   Gates  closed  and we are settled down for the evening.

Friday  we had a call from Stephen Foster Ranger station. Lost visitors in the park.  Gil took off with cold water, in search of lost visitors. Visitors found and glad of the water and ride back to their car.
Flip Flops on feet, no water and lost in the woods  for approx. 5 hours. They managed to get to a spot where they got a weak signal and googled Stephen Foster for a phone number to call  for help. Thank goodness we was at home packing things up from outside.
                                        Sunsets on CR135 in White Springs, Fl.


  Deer on Godwin Bridge Rd, as we was returning  to camp after shutting the gates at Little Shoals.

Sunday we head out early to Ocala. We will visit with family for 3 days  then we will head farther south to St. Sebastion River Preserve  for our next 3 month stint. Stay tuned for life at the Preserve.
