Welcome to Contentment Madame*

Quite cold in Florida, but, yes, I know, much warmer then elsewhere! So, I will take it and keep a smile on my face about it

Faver-Dykes State Park is a cute little park inland of St. Augustine, The wildlife is fun, plentiful and friendly and the rangers are always patrolling. When we first pulled in, 2 different rangers commented on the size of the bus! “My my…what a big bus you have.” The other just simply said, “Big Bus”. Being we are 5 ft larger then we should be, we just nod in agreement and nicely skate across the subject. I don’t know much about the park, because it is so damn cold I have been hiding under my covers and staying in.  I hear there is Pelicer Lake (taking a wild stabbing guess at the name.) and a few nice trails. All I have seen is the bathrooms which were freezing but quite nice, and the campsites we are in, along with a raccoon, armadillo, a FEMA trailer, a 14 year old ranger and what I am fearing is the el chupacabra lurking in the woods. This place is the darkest place on earth! When the night falls, the only thing glowing is the stars in the sky. The air in front of you is so black, you can not see your hand in front of your face. walking back and forth from our camp to Gayles seems as if it takes forever, the darkness, creates a dissolution.

The company is great and the scenery rocks, I will never trade on of these fabulously magnificent days in for anything less then, nor anything more.
