It’s World Ranger Day Today
It’s World Ranger Day today, as in Park Ranger and I think that’s a fabulous thing! That’s Park Ranger Wood of the Florida State Parks System.

It’s Only Three Weeks
It’s only three weeks until we set out on another camping adventure. This time it will be Jetty Park in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The park that’s well-known for — among other things — being very, very close to where the Cruise Ships launch in… Continue Reading “It’s Only Three Weeks”
