January 1, 2018 – Monday
Blackwater River State Park
Holt, Florida
We really enjoyed our three-day visit to New Orleans ringing in the New Year
(12/29/17 – 12/31/17), We depart New Orleans on a crisp, sunny morning for
Florida, where we will escape the brutal winter weather back home in Illinois.
We look forward to basking in the warm weather in southern Florida..
Our first layover in Florida will be Panama City Beach (329 miles) to visit with
our son and his family. As late afternoon approaches, “Navigator Sharon”
consults our Allstays Camp and RV app
and finds Black River State Park is nearby. She enters the gps coordinates into
our Garmin Nuvi and it faithfully directs us to our destination. We will spend
one night here.
Blackwater River State Park is a very scenic area, spanning 600 acres. The
Blackwater River is considered one of the purest sand-bottom rivers in the
world. The river has been designated a Florida canoe trail, with the last two
miles located within the park. Canoeing, kayaking, camping and picnicking are
popular activities in the park along with strolling through the park's forested
nature trails.
Tomorrow another adventure begins.
