White Springs (Hi Walter) is a lovely town, but having been there for almost a week it was time to move on. We had really enjoyed being at Kelly’s RV, where they had made us very welcome.
The decision was where to next. We know we have to be down at Dade City for Thanksgiving so we have a week. We decided that we would like to see more of the Suwannee River, so we followed it down to near its mouth. We have ended up at a campground called Yellow Jacket Campground. It is on the west side of the river and there is not much here, except the beautiful river fringed by cypress, palm and oak trees.We were worried that we may not like it. However we have a site right on the side of the river and it's lovely. The best part about it is the people. As soon as I went into the office someone introduced themselves. This was followed by someone helping us drive into our site. We started talking (as usual) and before we know it we are sitting round their campfire, talking away about family etc. Next day Popeye, who has a broken ankle, took us for a ride up the river in his lovely, very comfortable, pontoon boat. We were fortunate enough to see a group of manatee in the very clear water, then a large alligator sunning itself on the bank, as well as various herons and kingfisher type birds. This evening we were invited to go with them for a meal to a local grill, so we took some folk in our van. There were twelve of us sat round a big table, all talking away. They have really made us feel at home here. Great company, beautiful scenery, good day.
