Up at 6am and out the door at 10am. I made a quick stop at Publix for Advil (hiking aches) and cherry tomatoes for snacking, then it was Turnpike Bound.
Everything was smooth until Wildwood where traffic backed up where the Turnpike connected with I-75. Two lanes of traffic merged into four, along with merging traffic from Wildwood and the Villages. It was 70 mph one minute, 30 mph the next and then back to 70 until you came to a screeching halt, dead stopped on I-75 hoping the person behind you has good brakes.. Then we’d start the process over again.
Florida drivers seem to have a little trouble with hills. They don’t mind going 70, 75, 80, 90 on the Turnpike and Interstate but when the road begins the incline to the hill, they take their foot off the gas and try to coast to the top. Once on top, they floored it.
Come to think of it, they also have trouble in rain. Two drops on the windshield and they go from 90 mph to 15 mph.
Once past Ocala, the pace begin to pick up and the traffic thinned out for a little. Then it was “Dodge the Semi’s” all the way to I-10.
Suwannee River State Park is a small park located in the bend of the river just before I-10 crosses it near Live Oak. There are 29 RV/camp sites and five cabins. It’s not the nicest state park in Florida but it’s very attractive and the camp sites and completely in each others’ laps. Since it is basically next to the river, sand is everywhere. Good thing I brought a rug for the front of the tent and a dustpan and brush.

The tent went up pretty quickly.
After that, I took a very short ride to see the river and scope out a few of the hiking trails. The longest is the Big Oak Trail with a distance of 12.5 miles – not doing that one. There are five other trails, all short except for the Balanced Rock Trail at 3 miles. I’ll probably start with that one tomorrow and work my way through the other short ones – if I can still walk I’m curious about what rock could be balanced near the river. Hopefully, photos will follow tomorrow’s hike.
