Otter Springs CG site 51

Trenton, Fl

There will be NO April 1st post.  I'm not quite sure what was going on, but my computer was acting funky....an April Fool's event?  Momma said it was just probably all that sugar sand on my paws that the computer didn't like.

Talk about extremes.  We just left a well manicured campground with owners who were truly concerned with our comfort and needs and arrived at Otter Springs.... a definitely rustic campground complete with tree roots, mud puddles and a 'well, you chose to come here and it is what it is attitude.'   

Our trip back into Florida was uneventful,

but Jan's tire with a screw in it caused an unplanned stop in his travels.  Now Robin, on the other hand, made it all the way into the campground and managed to creep into his site with his soft tire.  

Rick and Louise's trip could have been nerve-wracking for Rick, but he just sat back and let Louise get a feel for what it is like being behind the wheel for an hour.

Way to go girl!!

The gal at check in told Momma we had a pull in - back out site. Momma didn't think too much about it as we have had situations in the past where the exit to the site caused us to back out due to an obstruction that would have made us unable to make the turn onto the road while attached to our rig.  When we arrived at our site and pulled it, our truck was land locked....as in a row of campers ahead of us.

 

When Momma called the office to question our truck being land locked, the response was, "Well I wasn't the one who assigned you that site!"  Huh?? What exactly does that mean?  The site next to us was empty, so Dad just unhooked from the fifth wheel and maneuvered out that empty site to go fill the Ram's tank with diesel.  The Ram is back in front now and ready to hook up for departure.

Some of the group walked down to check out the spring fed water.

is that a flying fish?

check out that leaping mullet

The weather was great for outdoor games so out came the board and beanbags.  And the winners were...

Now here's a shot to check out.

Our caravan is drawing to a close.  One rig departed today to make their way to a high school reunion.  The rest of us (except one rig heading north) will depart tomorrow traveling to the location of our monthly campout being held in Ocala, Florida.

What a fantastic group of friends to travel with.  I have enjoyed every minute!!  Especially when I can get someone to toss my ball for me!  Thanks friends💖
