Blue Spring State Park

25 April 2016

I finished packing and loaded the jeep and got on the road a little after 10 am.  The gps directed me to I95 and for some reason it directed me to get off on Atlantic and funneled me over to the Turnpike.  After passing Palm Beach, I stopped at a rest station and then the gps directed me back to I95 at Fort Pierce.  Maybe it knew of some traffic tie ups.

In any case, I made it to Orange City around 3 pm, checked in with the ranger and found my camping permit also allowed me entry into the park for no extra fee.  I found campsite 047 and found a less rocky place to pitch the tent, and went exploring.

The tent went up in about five minutes this time!

I’m campsite away from the toilet/showers which are brand new with two walk in showers accessible for handicapped with hot water.  It’s nicer than my bathroom at home.

It’s a quick walk to the swimming area down a paved path.

The swimming area is divided into three parts: a lower section with two sets of metal stairs down into the spring.  A middle section is found about half way up a boardwalk, again with two sets of metal steps leading into the spring.

The upper section has no access but overlooks the spring from an elevated vantage point.

The water looked so enticing, I walked back to the campsite and took off everything except my walking shorts and went back to the middle section.  Yes, the water was very cool.  After about five minutes, you got used to it.  I stayed about 20 minutes and then headed back to the campsite. I showered off and changed clothes.  It’s now time to begin thinking about which dehydrated cuisine I shall sample tonight.

And yes, I did figure out where the short tent pole goes on the tent!

After 34 years in the classroom and lab teaching biology, I'm ready to get back to traveling and camping and hiking. It's been too long of a break. I miss the outdoors and you can follow my wanderings on this blog.
