excellent,



here is a list of sites to scout in Apple-atchy-cola

which I and rainbowcountryluvin compiled...



if the water crisis in Atlanta is as bad as they

say, and water is not flowing down river as much

as it used to, maybe there will be more sandbars

than usual along on the Apalachicola river...

Hmmmm....Back in the '90's, when some folks tried to do the Florida Winter Valentine's Day Thing in the Apalachicola NF, the problem, from what I heard, was too much water. Maybe the drought will help site selection. I guess it's not impossible that I might make it down, had hoped to get to Ocala, but doubt doubt I'll have the family...maybe a just a dog.

 

I just got back from Ocala. We have a few kitchens on there way.WE will be using the new sm. Water tank from Ocala. We have $300 in the Magic Hat!! To go to vegeeeessss.....a lot of left overs coming up from Ocala...TIME TO PACK!
