Trip #5a Blackwater River State Park, FL (12-26 Feb 2018)

We started this trip with a return visit to Blackwater River for a stay of a full two weeks this time. This would be a couple of first: returning to a previous place, and the longest stay in a single location. Everything about the start of this trip would be very familiar, which would give us some good insight into our improvements and growth as RV adventures.

We departed for the trip early Monday on 12th after having completed most of the packing night before. It had rain pretty hard on Saturday, so any though of breaking the trip up was put aside. Getting all the supplies and packing truck the night before would provide minimal time preparing and hitching camper. The drive from our camper storage location in Ringgold to Blackwater as approximately 400miles (all but 90miles on interstates).

First stop Gaston for coffee at Starbuck


Milton/Blackwater area had received 3days of non-stop rain park of the road south of the park was closed until Thursday after we arrived

 

A favorite of our morning hikes, along the portion of the Florida Trail which follows the Red Clay Cliffs above Juniper Creek.

Enjoyed a couple mountain bike rides on Red Rock Road Mtn Trail and a 15miles of the Blackwater Heritage State Trail

 

Some of the best parts of everyday were spent along the Blackwater River near our campsite hiking, swimming, and soaking up the Florida sun and just.
