Soggy in Sopchoppy


Well, not really, but it rained steadily last night.  It was nice to lie in our comfortable bed in the RV and think about how we were NOT camping in a pup tent and sleeping on the ground!  Yesterday was very foggy and cool, but we were able to enjoy a campfire last evening.  Today it's still cool and overcast, but the forecast is for clearing soon. 

After a productive morning of work and some lunch, we went out along the trails in the park.  We are spending the weekend at Ochlockonee River State Park, south of Tallahassee, almost on the Gulf.  Again we're into a very different environment: tall pines (this area used to be used in turpentine production), spaced wide apart with grasses and/or saw palmettos beneath. 

Anyway, the notable accomplishment for the day was spotting several Red-Cockaded Woodpeckers, which are considered rare and local to this area.  A new bird for Dan's life list!
