Silver Springs & Ocala, Florida

Nov 19 - 26   Sunny everyday, low 70's - every night colder 40's till last night FROST......  BRRR.

Hey Mr. Weatherman we are in Florida now?  The weather is amazing how it can be so nice and warm during the day, today was 73 not a cloud in the sky and this morning when I opened the door to see how it was there was frost on the trailer across from us!  This was Thanksgiving week in the U.S. and you know what that means - lookout Black Friday Shopping.   Not us we are not shoppers on any day; our day out was with Don & Annie and their Gang!  Went to a great little pizzeria joint near Gainsville.

Ocala is a very nice ranching area at the top of Florida - lots of horse farms.   I think I read they have raised 6 Kentucky Derby winners from this area.

If you are a gearhead you will also like the Don Garlits Drag Racing Museum.  He was "Big Daddy" of drag racing and the place is stuffed with everything on the race track.  There is also a museum with many old cars and other interesting memorabilia - you can play the Wurlitzer for .25.   Billy found many old favorite cars of his and quite enjoyed all the drag cars and engines. 

Beautiful Condition...   I bet the American Pickers would love this!

Oh and our camping site this week was not a good choice...  Don had sent us a note with the place to stay and bad Rosey didn't pay close attention and here we are in a very old run down Silver Springs Campers Garden RV Resort...... ha ha,,, there is nothing resort about this place.  Oh well you take the good with the bad and oh yes this is a bad section of town too, everyday we saw someone going through the garbage in the bin across the street and also saw the same homeless man and his dog every day walking out along hwy 40.  So make sure if you are in this area go to Wilderness RV Resort about 5 miles west of this place.

This is the only 50 amp spot which is a pull thru that we cannot get around to get out so we will have to back up to pull out ! Oh joy!
