Since “Baby” was going to be in the service bay all day, we were free to go see our good friends, Sherry and David. They are staying at Lithia Springs State Park about 15 miles from Lazydays.
We arrived at the State Park shortly after lunch time.
The ride through the campground is quite lovely!
Our first view of Winnona hidden behind the trees ;o))
They have a beautiful site along the river.
However, we are amazed that David got Winnona into this spot.
It is down a hill…
then a sharp left so they faced the river.
We just loved their new pet frog!!
We visited for a short while. Then off we headed
to see the park and the springs.
But first, the group photo!
Florida has more natural springs that any other state.
(Be sure to click any photo to enlarge.)
Here is a photo of the main spring.
There is a swimming area on the right.
The left side of the springs is off limits.
It is being reclaimed and put back to its natural setting.
The area flows out to the river.
Already it is quite lovely.
While we were enjoying the beauty, the park manager came by.
He spent quite a bit of time explaining
his plan for improving Lithia Springs SP.
He was so enthusiastic and really loves his job!!
Even the Muscovy Ducks wanted to hear his plans;o))
We spent a couple hours touring this lovely park. Then headed back to the campsite to sit and visit some more. It is always fun to be with Sherry and David and compare notes about things we have done or plan to do. We all enjoy the same types of things.
Nancy refers to the locked key adventure as the test of our emergency broadcast systems.
Our system worked. Plus, we got to have a lovely dinner and spend more time with great friends. This was one time a problem became a blessing:o))
David did a great job getting Winnona in that tight spot, see what you have to look forward to. ;c)
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful park, and David and Sherry are so much fun to be with, I'm starting to think you locked the keys in the car on purpose...
OK Paul, you caught us!! Yep, dinner was terrific;o))
ReplyDeleteLove that your emergency broadcast system not only worked but fed you too! :)
ReplyDeleteI think we have the twin to Sherry and David's pet frog :) He used to sing to us in the morning at Estes in Rockport. We thought we left him behind, but I think he hitched a ride with us to San Antonio cuz he's been croakin' morning and evening. We have no idea where he is!
How did you sneak this into my blog list without my seeing it for FOUR days. Good GRIEF!!
ReplyDeleteWell I have to say that your pictures of Lithia Springs are way better than mine all around. I'd forgotten about our pet frog. I'm going out to see if he survived the trip to Koreshan. HOpe he doesn't have any family back at Lithia.
Just BTW - Lithia Springs is a county rather than a State Park in case anyone cares and you kindly left off the 25+ speed bumps which would deter any big rig driver with any sense. :-)
Getting out of that site without a scrape was actually more difficult than getting in. Thanks to Sherry and the walkie-talkies we learned about from you, we made it without a scratch. Now I just need to go back and see where toad 2 is ...
ReplyDeleteIt was our pleasure that you were able to stay for dinner and pass some more time together. Funny how these things just happen, but it turned out to be a good thing all around.
David
I DO love it when things turn out so well!
