The Rest Of Florida Camping

IMG_2978
The spot we had at Grassy Point was pretty prime.  The road in was solid (so long as you took the right one) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission had just put in new picnic tables, fencing and benches that overlooked the water.

We could spend our mornings and evenings watching the Dolphins feed in the bay
and our afternoons watching Anole’s turn from green to brown.

                                      Things were mostly calm

                           So, when we could, we would walk around and explore.

                    More seeds than blooms but pretty none the less.

               The Corydalis were really showing off.

                         We have no idea what these miniscule white flowers are.

                                   Does it really matter though?
    Just look at the detail in these tiny ten petal weed in the grass wonders.

Well, we had every intention of hanging around this wonderful free campsite for a good long while but the rain and clouds just were not letting up.  We recently dropped our battery reserves to just one battery which is usually plenty for our causes in good sunny weather.  And although we were running the alternator a little each day to give the house power a boost it just made more sense to actually drive the van if we were going to keep starting it.  So, off we went.

                              Who knows where we’ll end up?!
