#98 – 100 Edward Ball Wakulla Springs, Ochlockonee River & Bald Point
January 1, 2017 We woke up bright and early on New Year's Day, ready to conquer another batch of state parks. This time we headed south towards the elbow of the state. Learning from our past travels, we knew not to have solid plans as they do tend to change throughout...
#94 – 97 Big Lagoon, Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou, Henderson Beach & Topsail Hill Preserve
December 31, 2016 North Florida has been an interesting experience for me so far. I felt like maybe my ideas or expectations of it were too high. I had seen a lot of cool places there but up to this point of my journey, I was just not in awe. Then we hit a turning...
#90 – 93 Blackwater River, Yellow River Marsh, Tarkiln Bayou & Perdido Key
December 31, 2016 Yes, this state park day began like many other before it, with a plan and then, those plans were changed! The plan was to start the day at the Florida Caverns but we got such an early start that we decided to go to the parks furthest away and work...
#86 – 89 Natural Bridge Battlefield, San Marcos de Apalache, St. Marks River & Letchworthe-Love Mounds
December 30, 2016 The Natural Bridge Battlefield has a beautiful monument and marks where the 2nd largest battle in the Civil War was fought. The grounds were very pretty and had some nice looking waters around it. The next stop was to be the St. Marks River State...
#83 – 85 Lafayette Blue Springs, Forest Capital & Econfina River
December 30, 2016 What better way to spend a long weekend off work than to go state parking and camping? A friend and I thought it would be wonderful so off we went! The plan was to leave Friday and follow the parks all the way up and then camp throughout the...
#81 & 82 Allen David Broussard Catfish Creek & Paynes Creek Historic
December 24, 2016 As with many of my state park adventures, I headed out planning to conquer at least 4 parks & ended up seeing half of that amount! This time it was all due to the night before! I was at a concert until late and then decided to sleep in because it...
#78 – 80 Hillsborough River, Werner–Boyce Salt Springs & Honeymoon Island
December 11, 2016 Talk about a transformation! This trip went through a million changes before it finally happened and it still didn’t go as we had planned when we left the house! Originally we were going to spend the weekend in Tampa, state park all day Saturday and...
#77 Lake Lousia State Park
November 25, 2016 I asked my dad what he was doing the day after Thanksgiving because I was interested in exploring his favorite state park – Lake Lousia. I knew he would be the best guide because he has spent countless hours there; visiting, camping, and exploring...
#76 Weeki Wachee
November 19, 2016 I have been wanting to visit Weeki Wachee since I was a child! The idea of seeing real live mermaids has always been intriguing to me. Even seeing some of the stories on TV made me excited to see them! Funny how life can change in just a moment and...
#75 Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park
November 19, 2016 I had been planning this trip for a while. It was going to happen once before but it was postponed, I believe, because we needed to see those parks on that very day! Usually I am the driver and my friend is the navigator but we decided to switch...
#73 & 74 Bahia Honda and Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park
November 17, 2016 The last state park of my trip was in Key West so knowing myself pretty well, I decided it would be best to set up camp early and then continue to the parks. Within minutes of being in Bahia Honda State Park I was in love, again! What an amazing...
#71 & 72 Long Key & Curry Hammock
November 17, 2016 The GPS skipped over a few parks that were on my list and I soon found out the reason why is because you can only get to them by boat. There was also one park that I was unable to get to because the road was flooded so I am going to be FORCED to go...
