Favr-Dykes State Park, St. Augustine

[topgun2]

This is Gunner protecting his turf (and that of Stan and Carol Moyer).

 

Favr-Dykes State Park is quiet and clean. While not really far off interstate 95 and within 15 miles of St. Augustine it is a bit of a drive down a sandy road to get to it (or get out of it). I understand that it is a great place to kayak or canoe, but, we didn't get a chance to do either while there. Most sites are similar to this one with plenty of room, a table and a fire pit along with water and electric. Carol and Gunner were busy chasing an armadillo while the rest of us just watched.

Looks like another great Florida campsite we should visit in the off season.

You mentioned the armadillo. I heard on the radio yesterday that the prehistoric relative of the armadillo was the size of a volkswagen beetle, with a big barbed tail.

Well, we have a few snakes, but nothing the size of the armadillo ancestor....

Sometimes, our January weather is great, ditto February. This year has been a cold spell followed by warm, over and over again. (Each week has warm and cold, since mid January.)

Don't let it discourage you, for next year. Our parks are amazing. And almost always warmer than New Jersey, New York, or Minnesota, by far.

Sherry,

 

Stan and I thought that it would have been a bit of fun to watch Gunner try his luck with that armadillo, but it appeared that Carol wanted it all for herself!
