Tallahassee and Florida Parks










After leaving Okefenokee Swamp we headed to Florida and thought our best chances for a decent motel was Tallahassee. Unfortunately we did not take some important factors into consideration:
1) Florida State is in Tallahassee 2) College football in the South has even more devoted followers than all organized religions combined and 3) We got into town the night before THE home game.....no vacancy...anywhere. We had to drive an hour to the town of Wakulla Springs. We stayed in a motel then the next morning went to Wakulla Springs State Park. This is the very location where "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" was filmed. Now just the manatees and alligators inhabit the crystal clear waters.



We then drove to a state park on the Gulf and camped.....right next to a swamp. That's how we found out what no-see-ums are all about.....my legs and arms look like I'm on my 20th day of Survivor but the sunset was worth it. Monday morning we had the entire beach to ourselves until about noon.
