Silver Springs State Park, Ocala, Florida
When the richest provinces feel secure, he (Antiochus IV Epiphanes) will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses – but only for a time. ~ Daniel 11:24
- Epiphanes, as mentioned earlier, began his reign by befriending everyone . . . only to stab them in the back once he gained their confidence
- His supporters reaped the financial rewards as they helped him reign by force
It was another short, mostly uneventful 65-mile drive today. Still, Blaine had to navigate our bus through plenty of traffic, narrow two-lane roads and some construction.
As of the 2020 census, it has a population of 81,444.
There was one incident worth noting.
A fellow 40’ RVer with a car in tow, pulled across the road right in front of us! Of all people, they should know better!
I’d like to report that our horn is in good working order. So are the brakes.

We visited this State Park four years ago following a full week at Walt Disney World. We were worn out, but there were gorgeous sunsets every night, as well as ‘wild’ citrus trees bearing tons of fruit leftover from the days when the area was a citrus farm. It’s also the place where we had to go overnight to the Tampa area to have our long slide repaired. Any of that ring a bell?
Wonder what’s in store for us this time? 😊
