Warm in Florida!

After 6 more hours of driving yesterday, we arrived at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park near Gainesville.  The campsites are not actually on the prairie; they are under live oaks and Spanish moss and quite private, with much vegetation between sites.  Ranger seems to be glad to have settled down in one place and enjoyed a quiet evening guarding the RV while we enjoyed our campfire.  The fire was not really needed for warmth----when we pulled in in late afternoon it was 80 degrees, and I immediately got out of the heavy socks and jeans, trading for capris and sandals.  This morning it's already warm and after a much-needed shower, I'll switch to a sleeveless shirt as well. 

The park has many trails, only a few of which we'll have a chance to explore before moving farther south. Today we'll go to the Visitor's Center and get in some walking and birdwatching.
