Feb 24 - Paynes Prairie State Park, Micanopy, FL

  We arrived at Paynes Prairie State Park in Micanopy, FL today.  It is located in north central FL, near Gainesville.  It is REALLY nice.  We definitely like State Park campgrounds so much better than RV mobile home park life.  There are trees surrounding our site, and the neighbor is near, but not on top of us.  There is no sewer (but there is water and electric), so we will need to use the dump station if our grey water gets too full.  But, we are close to a nice shower/bath house, and will shower there, which is the biggest contributor to filling the grey water tanks.  Also, we will use paper plates to minimize the dish washing.
  The weather was VERY hot and humid, which makes me melt and have low energy.  However, we did set up the RV, and then explored the campgrounds a bit.  It is a very large preserve, so you actually need to drive to the other sections.  But, we walked over to the lake, which has a pavilion and a little pier.  Then did a 3 mile hike on the "Lake Trail".
  We had our Sunday night family Hangouts call, and the monthly Sibling/cousin Zoom call.  It was great catching up with everyone.
