Silver Springs, FL

Well, several folks said they hoped we do a 'blog' for this trip, so here goes. Eventually, this will wind up in a full-blown birding trip when we get to Dauphin Island, AL where we hope to catch the bird migration in full swing. For the first several weeks though, we're just going to be visiting friends & family and getting out of the (hopefully) last of the cold weather.

We left Monday 3/2 and went a short way to Lake Allatoona near Acworth, GA. Did some visiting with kids & grandkids there. Then on Thursday 3/5 we traveled on south to Perry, GA and visited with a dear friend that we used to work with and her husband, Pat & Champ (he's a dear friend too). On Friday 3/6 we traveled farther south to Silver Springs State park near Ocala, FL and spent the weekend. This is a very nice park that we have stayed in several times before as we were travelling through. Today (Sunday) we attended the First Baptist Church of Silver Springs and had a very good worship service. Here is a picture of our campsite at Silver Springs State Park.

Tomorrow we'll be moving on farther south.
