Payne's Prairie SP (March 22-25, 2017)

Wednesday - It was less than an hour to get here, but there was a lot of truck traffic on I-75. We got into site six, which is much smaller than the one we just left. The tree cover is heavy, which gives us ample shade, but made it impossible for John to get satellite signal. We can watch tv on our phones and watch dvds.
Thursday - We drove to High Springs to meet our friends, the Mast family, for dinner at Alice's Restaurant. They reunion at Trackrock and have made us feel part of their family. It was great visiting and getting caught up.
Friday - Today we drove to the north park entrance to hike the La Chua trail. There is a sink here where the lake drains into the underground aquifer. There are also many wild animals such as alligators, bison, and horses that can be seen from the trail. This is not a zoo, but a wild encounter and care must be taken. We did not see any bison today, but saw many alligators and horses. It as quite windy, which made it more comfortable to hike.
Saturday - We drove over to the visitor's center and viewing area that is only a couple miles from the campground. We climbed to observation tower, but sadly no animals were in sight.
