Our Weekend at Homosassa

Yesterday, Saturday, was another busy day for Ken and I.  We left the CG aound 10 and headed to Inverness about 30 minutes away.  We decided to ride bike on the Withacoochee State Trail, a 47 mile Rails to Trail.  It was a beautiful trail, but a rather windy day.  Not easy riding.  We were told it was about 7 miles to the Floral City Strawberry Festival, but it was 9 1/2 miles one way!!  It was worth the ride just to have one of their strawberry shortcake desserts.  It was the best we have ever had!  Not sure why we decided to share one!!!!  Floral City is known for growing strawberries, but not as famous as Plant City, FL.  We enjoyed spending some time at the Festival before riding back to Inverness. 

We stopped at one of my favorite places for the 3rd time - Sonny's for their pulled pork sandwich.  They are always delicious!  We were back to Willie by 3:30 and then joined 2 of our neighboring campers for Happy Hour.  (They had invited us before we left for our bike ride.)  We spent about 3 hours chatting and getting to know each other.  Great folks.

During the night it was sooooo windy and we had a brief but heavy rainstorm.  But, it was sunny by 10.  This was the coolest day we have had since coming to FL.  It only got to 64 degrees and was windy.  A perfect day to do laundry and it was a necessity!  We headed to a local laundramat since the campground only had 3 washers in their 2 laundries, and we had 4 loads.  Told you it was a necessity!  Played a little shuffleboard, grilled supper, and then relaxed.  Imagine that!

Tomorrow will be another slow down day as we get ready to move to St. Augustine on Tuesday!  We have had a wonderful week on the Nature Coast of Florida and Rock Crusher Canyon CG.
