O’Leno State Park, High Springs, Florida
Our final “good-bye” to Henderson. Quite a blustery morning on the beach! I’m certain they’ll be coming around the change the flags soon! I was waiting for Blaine to bring the coach around so we could hook up the Jeep and I just had to have one last look.
I was waiting at a Park parking lot.
We drove roughly 5 hours from Florida’s panhandle to about the center. No more beach pictures, although you’re probably tired of seeing all the waves and sunsets/rises.
It was a pretty easy – – until we arrived at the State Park. And then . . . . well, let’s just say I have no idea how Blaine managed to maneuver this big ol’ bus to our site! It was so incredibly tight, I took pictures as I followed him in the Jeep. (I only got distracted once and almost ran into the back of the RV. Shhhhh . . . don’t tell him!)
He’s so good, he backed into our site on the first try! Once we got parked, it’s a pretty nice, large site.
Once we were settled in, we took a looksy around the area and found a very interesting section!
How sad that progress brought down an entire town.
And how interesting the way this place has evolved over time!
I thought making some of our pictures black and white reflected the times they were built.
Recovered pieces from the grist mill that used to be in the town of Leno.
A picture of the mill. Surely this was taken after it was no longer in use?
A very rare photograph of me with my hair all pulled back.
And so begins our 10-day adventure here at High Springs!
