We drove through rain and overcast skies for most of the day Monday. Normally Ranger would have been itchy to get out of the RV and out for a walk at each stop, but with the rain and his lack of sleep (due to the big storm) the previous night, he seemed happy to spend the day in bed.
After about seven hours of travel, we arrived at O'Leno State Park, near Gainevsille It is one of the oldest Florida parks, with CCC buildings, located along the Santa Fe River. The campground is small and situated under heavy vegetation, almost jungle-ish. Rain persisted through the evening, but it was rather nice to just heat up soup for dinner and watch a DVD, before we lost electricity. The campground host came around through the pitch-black darkness to let all campers know that it was a blown transformer that had already been reported, and by 10:30 repairs were made and lights came back on.
We awoke to sunshine---finally! We'll probably spend part of this day, our 42nd anniversary, exploring the hiking trails along the river.
Happy Anniversary!
