Another four hours of driving south on I-95, and we are settled in at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, near Jupiter, for the next few days.  The park entrance is close to the Atlantic, but after registering, we followed the park road for four miles west, to the campground which is on the Loxahatchee River.  The campground is not one of the better ones we've seen at Florida parks: sites quite close together and poor showers.  But it was 71 degrees yesterday afternoon, so who's to complain?!

Look like Florida!

Ranger and I took a long walk early this morning (50 degrees) and scouted out the area. There seems to be a lot to do at this park: river boat tours, kayak rentals, horseback riding, bike trails, and many hiking trails.  The weather is supposed to get steadily warmer as the week goes on, so we are definitely getting into vacation mode.
