Ocala Nationla Forest

We are in the middle of the forest in a very nice full service federal campground. Arrived here Mon. and have kind of kicked back, reading books, feeding squirrels, walking, etc.  They have a large social barn here with a large fireplace, a bunch of woodturners occuping one corner and quilting ladies in another.  They have some kind of event most days like camping musicians joining forces on Mon. nites, bingo, games, potlucks, etc.  Quite a few campers spend 4 to 6 months here in the winter, that is unique as most fed. parks allow 2 weeks max.  In the morning we pull up stakes and head for St Augustine for 3 days.

Pics, Mon. nite jam session-guy on left harmonica player, banjo player not asleep, they are not pros but they have fun and the audience claps like hell.  As we sit out reading a squirrel wants to share my peanuts, woodpecker probably wanted some too but setteled for a few bugs.  Poor ladder, had the bicycle rack mounted where my finger is pointing.  As I was backing into a campsite in the everglades I asked my co-pilot if we were ok on her side to back in further, she said ok, then I heard the crunch.  As you can imagine the blame game is still on going, think I'm going to lose.  Fortunately could remount the rack on the undamaged portion of the ladder higher up, a better solution than Nita following the motorhome on the bike.  So high now have to get a stool to mount the bike.
