After being home for almost 3 months, it was time to get back on the road. Bob and I are headed to Siloam Springs to meet Cathy and the grand kids. Have we got a trip planned for them!
Our first stop was Suwanee River State Park about 11 miles west of Live Oak, Florida. This is the third time we have camped at the park. This time the water levels were higher than ever. All of the trails near the river and the sinkholes were closed.
We had a great site, number 25, which was close to the bathroom. All of the sites have electric, water, and sewer hook-ups. Other than mosquitoes, the only other annoying critter was a snake. We weren't sure if it was dead or alive, and I certainly wasn't going to check to find out!
While we were at the park, we walked around the campground and out to the river. It sure looks different when the water is high.
Since we couldn't hike in the park, on Saturday, we drove west along US90 to Madison where we turned north on FL 145. Once we arrived in Pinetta, we parked at the post office and walked the bike trail south to pick up some geocaches. It was time to add to our numbers. We found all of the ones we were searching for in spite of the mosquitoes and gnats, and then returned to the campground. Sunday, we returned to the area south of Pinetta and parked at a picnic area. From there we rode our bikes north to get more geocaches and then we rode south to get one more! If you ever visit Madison, the Four Freedoms Bike Trail goes just north of town to the Georgia state line, paralell ro FL 145. Unless there are more caches hidden, we have found most of them at the northern end of the trail.
We only stayed at Suwanee River State Park for 3 nights then it was on to our next stop, someplace new to us, Gulf Islands National Seashore--Ft. Pickens Area.
