Mar 24,2011 Heading towards Florida

We pulled out of  Long Beach Mississippi and headed to Alabama (with a banjo on my knee), arrived at Azalia Acres RV Park in Robertsdale Al about 2PM. Nice new park..We got the laundry done and vegged for 2 days. Next on our agenda was a 4hr drive to Marianna Florida, The Florida Caverns State Park. We got all set up again at 4PM..kinda late for us but we got delayed with a flat tire enroute. We used our Good Sam Road Servvice to get the tire changed and it put us 1 hour off our plan. That's a first for Charlie, a few years ago I would have just changed it, but I gotta admit it makes it a lot easier to have someone else do it !!   It didn't cost us a dime either! Caverns State Park  is on par with Michigan's Hartwick Pines Park. The trees here are amazing. Some look about 80' tall and at night the sky stars are very hard to see and it is dark..Last night we heard some really wierd owl/scream/growl sounds. (Maybe it was BIGFOOT !!) Needless to say no more fresh air walks after that..(grin)..Today we took in the cavern tour and it was actually better than the Mammoth Cave tour we did last year. The Stalactites-Stalagmites were enormous and very colorful. It very etheral and spooky. We pull out tomorrow and next is Torreya State Park in Bristol FL..it's the highest elevation in Florida and has the states highest waterfall. We'll stay a week and let the mail catch up to us this time. It'll be good to stop for awhile. We're starting to watch Michigan weather as that'll make up our minds about a northern turn and slow trip home..Hope the snow up there stops and temps get better soon.We miss you all and hope you're safe and snuggly..REMEMBER..LIVE YOUR DREAMS AS TIME GOES BY QUICKLY..Charlie&Heather
