Kayaking Burt Mill Creek
Thursday, March 4, 2021 A downy woodpecker, the smallest of the woodpecker family, worked on a limb in our campsite. Colin Burns gave us some tips on places to fish and kayak near St. Andrews State Park. We opted for Burt Mill Creek. There is a nice boat ramp, parking area and even has a…

Ichetucknee Springs State Park
Sunday, February 28, 2021 At $22/kayak and put-in and take-out, we rented four kayaks for a two-hour float down the river, which flows into the Santa Fe River, which flows into the Suwannee River. The water was clear with fish jumping frequently. Largemouth bass, mullet and 29 other species of fish live here. We had…

Otter Springs
Saturday, February 27, 2021 We are staying at Otter Springs Campground. Since it’s a weekend, it is pretty full, but the spring is flooded. Apparently all the rains in Georgia have brought the levels of the Suwannee River way up, and it has flooded into these low-lying areas. Usually the springs are crystal clear, but…

North Beach Camp Resort
I rate this campground a 9.5. It is a large campground with @150 sites, but you don’t feel it. The sites are large. Especially the back-in sites, you don’t see or hear anything. There is a soft, friendly atmosphere walking the campground at night, with gentle conversations around campfires. The bathroom and laundry facilities are…

St. Augustine’s Varied and Amazing Architecture
I went into town at 7:30 to get some pictures before the crowds came. It was fun walking the streets while they were quiet. I’m not a city person, but I do like this one. There is such a variety of beautiful and sometimes amazing architecture. From: https://www.visitstaugustine.com/article/instagram-worthy-architecture-st-augustine we learn the types of architecture in…

North Beach, Florida
Wednesday, February 24, 2021 Martha was ready for a walk on the beach, so we picked up Ruff and walked on the beautiful North Beach at low tide. Lots of people were fishing from the beach, but no one was catching. It’s a beautiful, broad, flat beach with compact, smooth sand. The water had beautiful…

Saint Augustine Hop-on-Hop-off Tour
Tuesday, February 23, 2021 After a week on the road it was laundry morning. The laundry and bathroom/showers at North Beach Camp Resort are very nice. I caught up on the news and a few other things before everyone was ready to go at 11:30. In St. Augustine we took a hop on-hop off trolly…

Moving to St. Augustine, Florida
Monday, February 22, 2021 Martha snd I drove around Skidaway Island to get the big picture before we left. There is one road down the middle with many high-end, gated communities on each side. Some private drives had impressive gates and landscaped entrances. We got back, packed up and headed south on I95 to St.…

Skidaway Island State Park
Sunday, February 21, 2021 Our group went into Savannah for a walking food tour, but I opted to go to the great Savannah National Wildlife Preserve. When I got there, it was closed. A gentleman told me they had been closed for a long time due to Covid concerns. So I came back to Skidaway…

Skidaway State Park
Saturday, February 20, 2021 I thought I would just fix the problem of not being able to connect to my iPhone hotspot. I could connect to Martha’s phone, but not mine. Trying all kinds of things, I must have deleted the wrong .phst file, so my email didn’t work. 30 minutes later that was solved.…
