Today marked the beginning of week three. It was two weeks ago this morning that I slipped out of St Paul under cover of darkness and began my long trek south.  I was happy my son, who is living at my house during my absence, was there to mark my departure.

Today along one of the bike trails I came across a “remote” group camp.  I say “remote” only because it is removed from the other amenities in the state park.

It consisted of three canvas tents on platforms each equipped with four cots and a small table. There was a small overhead light in each served by a solar panel with a power storage box. It had an outhouse and a pump station for water. It looked like a fun place to bring a small group of kids for a “camping” experience. When I took my teenage daughter and 9 of her friends camping years ago they would have liked a place like this much better than where we were. 🙂

Tomorrow I’m going back to woods. I’m moving up to Blackwater River State Park in the northern panhandle of Florida. I’ll be there through Monday and then on to visit my friends Gary and Cherie in Destin, FL.

I’ll get to sleep in a regular bed, shower everyday, and trim my nose hairs and stuff.

Weather permitting I might even play some bad golf.

I am well and hope you all are too.
