Last Day's at Florida Caverns State Park

During our last week here at Florida Caverns we had the chance to take a trail walk and check out Gulf Island National Seashore.  The Rangers here took us to lunch today, Thanks guys, we will miss ya.  Leaving here Monday (and now all the flowers are blooming and temperature is in the high 70's) to head for Stephen Foster SP for 4 days, then to O'leno SP for 2 days.  We will be spending the month of March on VACATION at Williston Crossing RV Resort, we haven't taken this much time off in 2 years.
