The trip south
included an overnight stop at an Army Corps campground on Lake Seminole in
southwest Georgia. We had planned to stay there three nights, but changed our
plans. We decided to go on to Santos Campground (near Ocala), one of our
favorite mountain biking venues. We were able to stay there two nights and
enjoy mountain biking for two days, riding when it wasn’t raining. After that
we headed to Wekiwa Springs S.P., north of Orlando. We enjoyed six days there,
working in our activities when it wasn’t raining. The weather actually got
nicer as the week went on. We spent some time kayaking the Wekiva River and
Rock Springs Run, swimming in the springs, hiking the beautiful trails and also
biking some of the trails. This is one of the nicest state parks in Florida. We’ve
been a few times and enjoy it so much. We also visited a local bar, Wekiva
Island, nearby on the Wekiva River, which we can drive to or paddle our kayaks
right up to the dock. It’s also one of our favorite activities when staying at
this state park.
From there we headed
home… looking forward (not) to 2-3 days of unloading, cleaning, laundry and shopping
to get back into our home routine. It will be nice to spend some time with our
friends whom we haven’t seen in two months. Time to plan our next trip in
October!
