March 26 - 27 - Tues & Wed

Tues. - We arrived at our next site, Hemmock Highlands St Park. It was only about a 3hr drive through a lot of vast land. I never realized FLorida had so many cattle and horses. I always thought of it just beaches &palm trees. We have seen a lot of "faces" of Florida. The park is very well maintained and it is filled with tents and RV's. after we got set up, we went for a ride to tour the area. The park is located in Sebring. We saw a large lake which we found out is Jackson Lake. It is more of a boating lake than beach area.

Wed. - This morning was a little chilly, in fact our heater turned on last night. The weather channel said FL is having a cold spell ( of course it would be while we are here) as I was getting myself together this morning, Richard went for a bike ride around the camp. Then he took a walk down one of the walk trails. He does not sit still, he is constantly on the go !! In the park there is a museum on the history of the park that one of the park rangers told us about, so we checked it out. It was very interesting. Later we went to see the Sebring International Raceway. There was a few cars on the practice track which we were able to go by the fence and watch. Richard enjoyed that. Near the racetrack there was an airport. We saw a pretty blue/gold helicopter which we found out was a hospital helicopter.
