February 10-11 2009 Ocala National Forest, Bryn Mwar Resort

Captain’s Blog

We left Silver Springs RV Resort this morning planning on stopping at the Salt Springs a natural spring with water temperatures at a constant 72 degrees.

The ride took us on a scenic route through the Ocala National Forest. We arrived at Salt Springs only to find that the spring area was closed for repairs. Thwarted again. The tourist angels are not on our side. We thought about spending the night at the campground but decided to move and secure a campground on the ocean before our final trek home.

Before leaving Salt Springs we decided to have lunch. Prior o leaving Ocala we stopped at the local Walmart for some staples. We were going to have sandwiches but guess what- the bread was never packed- although charged for. Yikes, will it never end!!!!

Another stop at a different Walmart fixed the bread issue and we were off to the ocean at Bryn Mwar Resort in ST Augustine Florida situa ted right on t he Atlantic. The weather is expected to be in the high 70’s to 80’s so great beach weather.

Arriving at Bryn Mwar we secured a site backed up to the beach. Once settled we headed to the beach to catch some waves and rays. It’s a very beautiful area and reminds us of the outer banks. A great place to spend before heading home- Yuck!

The moon was low on the horizon tonight and cased in orange over the ocean. We sat on the benches along the walkway and enjoyed the beauty of it all. There was a cool light breeze and the skies were clear allowing us to enjoy the stars as well.

A great end to a good day.
