We said "goodbye" to the Big Bass Campground in the Ocala National Forest this morning. You would never guess that less than .5 miles off of a county road down this dirt forest service road that you would find a nice little campground. There weren't any signs on the county road about the campgrounds. I'm glad we had extra help from the computer and the mapping programs I was using, along with the paper atlas we picked up in Maine.
But before we left we took some pictures of some "things" we wanted to remember.
That my friends is a track of a black bear. The trail in which the track was made was less than 50 yards from where we were camped.
You can tell from the size of Sheryl's hand the size of the track. The average black bear in Ocala weighs around 400 pounds. The biggest recorded was over 600. That is a lot of bear.
We never did find out what these berries were called.
They are quite small and colorful.
We took back roads to get from Big Bass Campground to the Light and Life Park, through Eustis and and Taveres southeast of Ocala. Nice communities and it seemed like a lot going on. We saw once of the largest tree farms in the country on Rt 33 on our way to the Park. It was a real nice drive.
Once at the Park, we said hello to our son Phil, and then drove out to the camper storage area and unhooked. We picked up some things from the trailer and headed over to our mobile. We have truly found warmth.
Tomorrow it will be time to get to work. The mobile needs painting on the outside and there are some other things we'd like to do before the end of the year. But we'll relax too. Until the next blog....
