We are currently staying at the Peace River Thousand Trails Preserve. It is near Zolfo Springs and Wauchula, Florida. It's one of our favorites and we wish we had more time to spend here! The downside to this campground is doing the "sewer shuffle". Not all sites have sewer connections, so when you arrive your name goes on a list and each day you see what sewer sites are available and when your name comes up, you move to that site. But, we're only here for a week so we wanted a site with a view of the river. After the second day, one became available. We're so happy! We love to sit and just watch the river flow by. We occasionally see "Stumpy". She the resident alligator that is missing part of a leg. There are others, too. We know there is an otter, but have yet to see it. It's a great bird-watching area, too!
Another favorite activity is to sift the river for fossils and sharks teeth. Hard to believe at one time there were sharks this far inland, but I guess this area was underwater a long time ago. A couple of years ago, we brought Jeremy, Michele, Cailtin and Alex to do some fossiling.
Here's Glenn and Caitlin in 2009
We have had some really nice weather lately, with the exception of Tuesday's rain. It has been windy the last couple of days, but afterall, it's March, right?
