#124 Lower Wekiva River Preserve
March 4, 2017 Honestly, I was not even going to write about this park because there really is not a lot I have to say about it. Andrew and I stopped at it on our way to Orlando to visit my mom for her birthday. My dad told me a few months back that there was not a...
#123 Fernandina Plaza Historic
February 26, 2017 It was getting down to the wire on the state park challenge I have bestowed upon myself. In reviewing the parks I have traveled to I noticed I missed this park on the adventurous day I had with my Uncle Barry a few short months before. Brian Scott...
Gamble Rogers & the Full Moon Experience
April 2019 About a year after my first visit to that park I heard they did a full moon rising event. I asked Amanda if she wanted to take her boys out there to hear about the full moon and watch it come up over the water. The night we decided to go was very cloudy so...
#121 & 122 North Peninsula & Gamble Rogers Memorial
February 18, 2017 I'm not going to say that this was a wasted state park day but I will tell you this was my least favorite State Parking day I have had and it had to do with my health. I caught a cold but I was not going to let that stop me. I hate wasting time...
#119 & 120 Highland Hammock & Lake-June-in-Winter Scrub
February 11, 2017 My dad asked me if I wanted to go out to him and take a horseback ride for the full moon and then just stay out at the cowboy condo for the night. Of course I just had to say yes! He told me I could bring Casey with me so I packed my bag & the...
#116 – 118 Three Rivers, Torreya & Lake Talquin
February 5, 2017 Start Parking with an 18 year old is a different experience all together! The night before we decided to head north and visit some of the parks I had missed the last time I was up there. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and...
#115 Suwannee River State Park
February 4 & 5, 2017 After a great day of State Parking, Andrew and I arrived at the Suwannee River State Park and assessed our campsite. Once Andrew got over being appalled at all of the RVs, we got to work setting up camp. The tent I got from my friend Adam was...
#113 & 114 Troy Springs & Wes Skiles Peacock
February 4, 2017 Andrew and I arrived at Troy Springs to find it extremely quiet and the spring itself was closed to the public. At first we thought it was closed because it was not season but as we made our way down to the dock it was very apparent that something was...
#111 & 112 Dudley Farms Historic & Ichetucknee Springs
February 4, 2017 Going with the flow seems to be a gift a person must possess when deciding to visit ALL Florida State Parks in one year. Originally, this day was planned to visit Ft. Meyers but all the campgrounds in that area were full. There were still a cluster...
#110 Rainbow Springs
January 28, 2017 Sometimes the best part of your day is the part you didn't plan on! This has been a fact in several of my state parking adventures and it became truth once again when I arrived at Rainbow Springs. The day's agenda of state parks was completed but...
#106 – 109 Fanning Springs, Manatee Springs, Cedar Key Scrub & Cedar Key Museum
January 28, 2017 Weeks had gone by since I had stepped foot in a state park. My life could feel the effect of this and not in a positive way. My mood was altered and if I didn't get my fix my world would not be good or right. There were a cluster of parks that I was...
#101 – 105 Dr. Julian G Bruce St. George Island, Orman House, John Gorrie Museum, T.H. Stone Memorial St. Joseph Peninsula & Constitution Convention Museum
January 1, 2017 Even though I enjoyed every moment we spent at St. George Island I will admit, I am going to have to go back in the summer to really take in the whole island, not just the park. We drove into the park and it just went on and on! Both sides were filled...
