After a not so pleasant start to our new adventure we finally made it to Gilchrist Blue Springs where we were able to secure a camping spot for the night. The sky remained overcast, but the rain had finally stopped. Although we are both native Floridians this is a park neither had visited in the... Continue Reading →
