Koreshan State Historic Site

 

On our way to our stop for the night, this car passed us.  It was kind of rigged up like the Google Earth Camera cars, but it didn't say Google on it.

 

This was one of the signs when we pulled into this campground.

 

And this is a short version of how this Koreshan State Historic Site came to be.

The grounds were beautiful.

 

A very old mahogany tree.

 

 

 

There was a lot of bamboo growing all around.

 

 

 

The Estero River.

 

 

 

And this was our second night in a row dry camping . . . but in a beautiful private spot.

When we pulled into the campground (about 2:00), they said they were full, but we could park down by the boat ramp temporarily and go back to the Park Office and they would let us know if they had any vacancies.  Well, we didn't want to go on any further, so we decided to do that.  We needed propane.  So we took the tow car to check out the place we could get propane, then we took the motorhome back to get the propane filled.  What an experience that was! And Dave was none too happy that it cost $4.75 a gallon for a total of $53.00!

Ask him about that story sometime.

When we went back to the Park Office after 5:00, they told us that they did not have any sites open up, and that we could stay one night, but not down at the boat ramp where we had been parked.  The sent us to the parking lot for the Historic Site, but it was much nicer.
