Our accumulation in Florida.

Cold weather coming to Florida by Tuesday. Lows are forecast to be in the 30s.

No spring. Just a vast depression in the area. We hiked in on one of the trails at Mike Roess Goldhead State Park near Keystone Heights. Many of the lake levels in the area are at record lows. There are a couple of large mines in the area which locals believe is the reason for the low lake levels.

AT&T is our provider and we see 2 bars on our iPhones when we camp there. Lots of trails nearby. One favorite is the Yearling Trail which has a book and movie based on the people who once lived there. There is a short trail within the campground when isn’t promoted much. There is great swimming...

Checkout Salt Springs for a camping site too. It’s in the Ocala National Forrest. Other alternates for camping are Alexander Springs and Jupiter Springs. Both are federal parks like Salt Springs; but neither of the latter two have electrical hookups.

We have put solar tubes in our kitchen and very happy with the results. We choose the upgraded ones (flat/rectangular with upgraded glass) over the dome ones. Highly recommend getting solid tubes over the flexible duct ones. The solid tubes put out much more light. Another recommendation is get...

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
