Travel Journal - Torryea State Park


Travel Journal - Bristol, Fl.  We were told by the campers next to us that 2 years ago this state park, Torryea, was stunningly beautiful.  But in November 2018, the gulf coast, including this Park, was devastated by Hurricane Michael.  This sketch was the sunrise view from our RV window showing the remaining and broken trees.

Travel Journal - Reedy Creek





Travel  Journal- We are in Old Town, FL at a lovely campground on the Suwanee River.  Yes, the song has been playing in my head since we got here....lol.  There's  a beautiful 1500 ft. boardwalk  thru the wetlands to the River itself....amazingly peaceful.  Another cold front here...folks tell me this has been a most unusual winter.. Colder and rainier.


Haven't  had a chance to sketch yet...this sketch is from Reedy Creek...the park we just left.

Travel Journal - Reedy Creek


Travel Journal - After driving through miles of citrus groves, our camp area at Reedy Creek in the Lake Wales State Forest, is a mix of scrub pines, cabbage palettes, live oaks, and grasses.  Very quiet and very different from the lush vegetation of Big  Swamp.

Travel Journal - Coastal Georgia Botanical Garden Tower


Travel Journal - Cold front has moved in...and inspite of the on and off again rain, we visited the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens.  Utterly delightful!  Once a bamboo farm, today the 46 acre gardens boasts fruit trees that were planted as colonial cash crops, a tea garden, rose garden, iris river,  crape myrtle grove, the Kings Holly...growing with a spread like a live oak!, ponds, a bamboo maze and much more.  We climbed the tower for a view of the gardens and maze.
