Camping

So I decided that for Memorial Day weekend we are going camping. I have been really wanting to go to Highland Hammock State Park for quite some time now. So I made reservations and now I'm wondering if it's a good idea.

The wet season was forecasted to start Sunday, but it looks like the Everglades are getting an early start today. It's pouring at Shark Valley. And it's been hot here. This place is up by Sebring, an hour from Tampa, the hottest part of Florida in summer.

The good part is there is electricity at our camp spot. I got the last one with electricity. The bad news, no pool :(.

So for three days and nights we'll be in a tent in summer and probably getting a good soaking from thunderstorms everyday followed by high humidity and bugs. Sounds fun, doesn't it? The weather is very unpredictable here so we'll see what happens. There is a lot of canopy cover there so maybe it won't be so bad. And if it is, well maybe I can find somewhere close by to cool off. I guess that is my project for the next two weeks. Find a water hole close to there. I'm considering making an hour drive from there to Tampa one of those days to take a canoe ride. We'll see. I hope this trip turns out to be fun.

The park itself is really nice. Spots to bike, ride roller blades, hike, etc.... I'm excited and just hoping for the best. It's suppose to be an extra wet summer.
