The day has FINALLY ARRIVED! With all my careful planning, and despite Hubby's doubts that we'd make it out on time, we were ready to hit the road this morning, bright and early! Our first destination was Shangrila Campground, an excellent horse camp we'd stayed at before, right along the big greenway across much of middle Florida, just outside of Ocala, and just a few miles off Interstate 75, making it the perfect overnight stop. They also have really nice trails here for those who have a few days to stay and ride. We arrived in good time, though the hay loft caught on a tree, which broke a good size limb and bent my extension ladder a bit, taking it out of it's moorings, but otherwise there was no real damage. Then I disconnected the truck to do some errands. I wanted to fill the propane tanks, but the Tractor Supply parking lot was too small for us, and, as I suspected, you can't open the propane cupboard when the truck is hooked up, so I had to do it that way anyway. Then I ran over to the Walmart to pick up a couple of things, but mostly to get diesel fuel, which is easier when I don't have the trailer behind me. That all done, I got back to camp in plenty of time for an enjoyable evening, with the horses on a highline just outside the door. Perfect!
