So we spent a record 3 months at home with a few side trips along the way. Now it is time to hit the road and slowly make our way to Tucson for the Escapade in March!
Our first stop was in Crawfordville, Florida to visit friends who were wintering in Florida. Bill and Bonnie have a new house with room for us to boondock in their driveway!
While we were there, Bill and Bonnie took us to area parks so we could get in some hiking. Our first stop was Leon Sinks, part of Apalachicola National Forest. The trail takes you by several sinks or sinkholes. Some of the sinks were dry and others were wet.
While we were hiking I spotted a pileated woodpecker and a whitetail deer.
From Leon Sinks we drove to Wakulla Springs State Park to hike to Cherokee Sink. It was larger than the other sinks, but the water looked scummy near the banks.
The trail circled Cherokee Sink and gave us different perspectives on the area.
While Bob, Bill and I were hiking, Bonnie stayed at the trailhead and read. She was recuperating from a broken foot!
Bob and I enjoyed our time with Bill and Bonnie. Bonnie's mother, Emma lives with them and she told amazing stories of when she was younger. She is now 96 years young! Bob and I hope to see them at their summer home in Colorado sometime in the future.
Bill, Bonnie, and Emma, thank you for feeding us and showing us the sights!
