ON THE ROAD SOUTH(weather permitting)

Good morning TARA Ontario.

Great sun rise to stay home and enjoy!

With a short break in the forecast we decided to make

our more.

We the help of more horse power, our RV was readied for take-off.

Maggie had her bag packed and ready to go.

Crossing the border at Niagara Falls we had hoped to avoid the eight

feet of snow dumped in Buffalo and now the flood warnings.

The snow bands on the sides of the interstate were impressive.

To make up for our late departure (six days), we ate quickly,covered more miles and drove later into the night. Hotel bookings were rearranged on the fly and our planned five days of camping outside Tampa will hopefully be experienced next year.

Our real first sign of spring weather was the sight of this Deux Chevaux entering a parking lot.

AH! Arived on thanks giving day at Oscar Scherer State in Osprey Florida. 

The weather was great and the rest was wonderful.

We have camped here on many trips and enjoy its peaceful setting.

Sun Set

Black Water River

The surrounding was starting to `colour up`` southern style.

Irish moss covering the large pines in the park. 

Blue skies were a welcome sight. 

The Banyan tree always offer Maggie many areas for fast relief. 

The Florida wildlife is coming out to greet us as we head south.

SEE YOU IN NAPLES!!

Who would camp in this weather?
