865 December 1, 2022 Lake City

I walked around the town of Frostproof this morning.  I walked all the way to Clinch Lake.

I saw sandhill cranes.

I saw a bald eagle flying overhead.

He then landed on the water tower where he sat for a long time.

We went in to see Mister Chris for a cup of coffee.  I had Brazilian which was smooth and rich.  Tim had Tanzanian coffee.  I know that it was stronger than our usual because my heart was pounding for awhile!

We enjoyed our short time in Frostproof. It is a quiet, gentle place.

Today was a driving day.  Tim drove more than 200 miles.  The first many miles were through a series of small towns.  Then past Legoland and Disney…someday I hope to bring the boys here.  Then we were on the turnpike with lots of traffic.  Finally onto 75N. It was here that we started to think about where we might spend the night. Campgrounds closer to Ocala and Gainesville were outrageously expensive.

We arrived in Lake City in midafternoon.  The campground is older but clean and well kept.  The laundry room was a great asset and I had all 4 machines going! 

I walked in the surrounding neighborhood between washing and drying.

We had a simple dinner; trying to clean out the freezer and the fridge.

We walked again after eating.
