I figured we were in for trouble when, before we had even parked the RV at our site at Fort Clinch State Park, I saw an armadillo sauntering across a campsite. Once parked, we noticed more of them. Poor Ranger! He was so frustrated, wanting to get at them, that he tried to chew through his leash. He'll need close supervision while we're here. Then add into the mix the four feral cats at the campground.....
Despite the challenges, Fort Clinch seems a nice park. It is named, of course, for the historic fort which is about 10 minutes walk from our site.
We'll do the tour later today.
The park sits on a peninsula north of Jacksonville, near the FL/GA border, with the Atlantic on one side and the Amelia River on the other. There are two campgrounds, and our site is in the one on the river, which was probably a fortunate thing yesterday when there were gusty ESE winds. We were sheltered---but a bit cool---in a site under the live oaks. The road coming into the campground was like a tunnel of twisted low-hanging branches.
Tonight will be our last night in Florida. Weather forecast sounds good for the long drive home.
Poor Ranger! Rossi would probably be scared of them :)
