Going Home--October 24-31, 2010

When we arrived in Georgia, we decided to stop at Towns Bluff Park between Hazlehurst and Uvalda. It is a nice Passport America Park that is only a few years old. It is located in the Bullard Creek Wildlife Management Area.
We spent two nights so we could grab the few geocaches in the area. We found several in Alston, Georgia.We found the one and only cache in Hazlehurst.

Our next stop on the way home was Okefenokee Swamp. On our way there, we stopped for lunch in Douglas with Aunt Laurie.

Once we drove into Okefenokee, we found that the area was in desperate need of rain. This was how Suwanee River looked at Fargo, Georgia.The swamp wasn't a swamp. All the boat tours and rentals were canceled as you couldn't get out to the swamp.
The water usually covers most of the cypress knees on this nature trail, but this trip they were high and dry.
This spot was usually covered with several feet of water, but I think this gator likes it just the way it is.
From Okefenokee, we headed to Florida. We stopped at Camp Blanding to spend a few nights. They were running a special--3 for 2 so we stayed three nights.
We made it to Jacksonville to see Beverly and Walter while we were based at Blanding.

Hmmm.....After finding 40+ caches in the Middleburg/Kingsley area, we decided it was time to make the final leg of our trip.......

Should arrive home in the early afternoon........

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
