Ocala, Fl

Much of the day was spent driving from Stuart to the Ocala National Forest. It was a mistake to get off the turnpike too soon. We arrived at Salt Springs to find the campground full and chose a nice spot at Fore Lake, a more primitive campground but very pleasant and quiet. We rode the bikes and got out the grill after touring the forest to get acquainted for a possible future visit. This is the area on which the book The Yearling was based. There are many waterways and also quite a few canoes in the area. Perhaps another time.
