Monday, Nov. 29, 2021 – Travel Day to Two Mile Bear Hammock

Hi Sweetie,
Restless night sleep last night, which always seems to happen when I rest too much during the day! Still, took my time getting up, waiting for it to warm up a bit. Didn’t take me long to have breakfast and finish packing up, left just after 11:00. A short drive and we arrived a bit after noon. There’s apparently only three official campsites in here, all with corrals, and one’s being occupied by a guy starting to run a kayak service nearby, no horses. It’s a nice looking campground, pretty trees with enough gaps so it wasn’t too bad getting settled in, though I won’t get much solar power out here, and to my consternation, I couldn’t find a water spigot anywhere, turns out there isn’t one. Thought I saw on their website there was water here, but I guess I was mistaken. Just another challenge to overcome! After getting settled in, I put the horses in the corral (I had been letting them graze), and drove up to Dunnellon for propane at Tractor Supply (they had just run out, so I didn’t get that done), and they wouldn’t order any feed for me, so I’ll have to make a trip to Sparrs for my Balancer. Made a stop at Walmart so I could fill up my water tank and pick up just a few things, another quick stop at Publix, then back to camp. I let the horses out to graze again. Then a park guy came along to empty the trash bins and I asked him about water, he said I could drive about a mile up the road to his office and fill up, so that’s what I’m going to do for the duration. It’s a lot closer than Walmart, and I won’t feel like I’m taking advantage. Settled in for the evening, put the heavy blankets on the horses as the forecast is for 37 degrees tonight, glad I still have a tank and a half of propane left, I think I’m going to using some overnight! Binge-watched some more Burn Notice episodes, now I’m headed for a quick shower and bed, no doubt wearing my wool hat like I have been the last few nights! Supposed to warm up in a couple of days, though, fingers crossed. Good night, babe! Love you!
