Saturday March 29
It was about 50 when we got up. After breakfast we walked the trail to the Columbus Cemetery. There was a town near here in the 1800's or so.
We put the kayaks in and paddled up the Lime Sink Run a good way. I went up past a narrow part where the flow was very fast. Man what a work out. When I returned it was like I was shot out a pipe. When we got pack to the Suwannee we turned up river and paddled for a fair ways. It was hard to judge how far since the river was running at about 5 or 6 mph. Lots of work for a short distance.
Free ride back past the ramp and we turned up the Withlacoochee. We did not go very far since we were getting tired and figured we had better return to the launch ramp.
Temp got into the 80's and we relaxed and biked and walked around the park and caught up on laundry.
Sunday March 30
In the 60's this morning but dark and cloudy. We decided to go to Wal-Mart in Live Oak to fuel up and get some needed groceries. We picked up a ThermaCell bug repeller that the camp host recommended. The park is having it's worst time with mosquitoes because of the high water they had here a few weeks ago.
We just chilled, watch the NASCAR race, walked, biked and took it easy. It never did get very warm and it was overcast most of the day.
Tomorrow we head for Hunting Island SP in South Carolina where we will be for at least 2 nights. We will be traveling on non Interstate roads most of the way.
Diesel at Murphy USA is now $3.95, it was $3.89 a week or so ago. On this last tank we got 12.6mpg. A lot of slowdown/speedup on I75 when we traveled from Oscar Scherer.
