January 2022: National Forest Hopping in Florida
•
As we prepare for our departure I look back fondly on the last month. No exciting stories or days filled with hiking, kayaking, exploring but simply living our normal lives in the woods and I love every minute of it. The colder, rainy days mixed in with warmth and sunshine. …

•
Barrington County Park may sound rather mundane but this place turned out to be quite special for a variety of reasons. This campground is located about 1 hour south of Savannah and is completely free! Now that doesn’t sound too special as there are plenty of free spots. But what…
