Tim and I had a safe and unadventurous one hour and fifteen minute drive all the way to Rainbow Springs State Park in Dunellon, Florida today. Except for tightening a few kayak straps along the way it was an easy drive. Today it was an excruciating 93* upon our arrival. It was flat out HOT.
Our campsite has no shade but in anticipation of this we brought an Ezee Up shade tent and a fan to help us out. So glad we did! In our site right behind the Airstream is a beautiful Passion Flower Vine. It has the most gorgeous blooms on it.
After we got settled into our camp site we took the short walk down to Rainbow River. Here from the park you can float down Rainbow River, that stays a constant 72*, on an inter-tube and then there's a tram that returns you or you can rent/use your own kayak and explore on your own. This is our plan for tomorrow since we brought our kayaks.
Once we got to the launch site on the river a massive storm was building just north of us so we didn't waste too much time down there. We got back and had barely a drop at camp but could tell areas near us had major storms with hail.
Tim quickly grilled some chicken for our delicious salads. Then for the first time Tim used our new pop corn kettle on the open fire. It was a super quick process. About a minute to gather everything and then less than a minute to pop it. It was delicious!
We have just a few days left to finish our final preparations for the new fur baby. She is growing fast! Friday is our travel day from here to go pick her up. The anticipation continues to build!
