Saturday February 11, 2012 Ocala Sun RV Resort A very very lazy day for me. Slept late, went for breakfast in my pajamas (just ran in and got a cup of coffee and ran out.) I took Winston for multiple long walks. I just didn’t feel like doing anything. It was cold – long sleeved shirt, sweat shirt, long pants all day long!!! I must tell you what the group did, though. They visited Gypsy Gold Farm, home of the Gypsy Vanner Horses. www.gypsygold.com The 3 pictures herein were taken by Kathy E. Thanks Kathy!!!! I can’t wait to see your blog with more. A gypsy vanner is a horse bred to pull the gypsy wagons. The farm is owned and operated by the man who first discovered there was such a horse, and he has ... read more

Friday February 10, 2012 Ocala Sun RV Resort Brrrrr it was cold this morning. Quick walk for Winston, shower for me, and into the rec hall for breakfast, sausage and waffles. Yummy. This LOW club, MidLows, finds campgrounds that offer reasonably priced campsites and a rec hall with cooking facilities so the host can prepare meals for us. Campers pay $5 fee for the luxury of having someone cook, but all chip in to rearrange furniture, do the dishes, etc. It’s a nice camaraderie feeling here.

Much of it is covered; cement floors, but open sides, so you are outside, but not really. There are outside vendors, but not so many on Friday. ... read more

Wednesday February 8, 2012 Palm Harbor FL to Ocala, FL I slept like a rock last night. I think the animals wore me out as well as themselves. I was up and out early. Garmina and Siri both failed me this morning. I could not force either one of them to get me to I75 northbound without going on The Toll Road. Garmina went ballistic when I made a turn, and finally had to turn her off. I have a vague familiarity with this part of FL, and knew if I headed north and east I would eventually hit it. I pointed my nose and went. Then I had a brilliant idea, find a post office and mail the grandkids Valentine cards, then turn Garmina back on and find I75. I ended up passing thru Land ... read more

A week in the Ocala National Forest Located in Northern Florida, The Ocala National Forest is a land of many uses. A week RV camping with friends Dick and Cheryl would allow us a thankful opportunity to experience many of the exciting activities that are available in the Ocala National Forest. From previous visits, Dick and Cheryl knew about Salt Springs Recreation Area. A fee area that gives daytime access to Salt Springs, it is also a Forest Service campground offering a variety of amenities ranging from full-hookup RV sites to primitive tent camping sites. Operated by a concessionaire, the campground is staffed by a lot of very nice people who do go out of their way to be helpful. Dick had called ahead and reserved us both full-hookup sites. The RV sites are serviced by ... read more

To recap what ive seen. first was the plane trip, it was so fun and exciting NOT!!! it was so boring. the only good one was Auckland to LA becuse it had the tv in the back of the seats.
