St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah, Georgia. It’s a huge deal. So big, people plan for it a year in advance. Offices close for the day, and many folks take an extended weekend to celebrate. This lady, however, took advantage of the holiday to skip town down to the Florida springs.
Last October, my sweetie and I went back to High Springs, a place we had both been to long before we ever met. It was a beautiful time, not to mention that it was Florida/Alabama weekend and we were the last people in the bar still cheering since Bama was rolling right over them Gators. But in our exploration, we discovered O’Leno State Park, and determined if we ever came back, we would camp there as “home base.” Imagine our surprise when setting up camp we discovered it was also hosting 140 banjo players!
The weather was typical for Florida, very sunny, a little humid, but sadly, also in a drought state. Where we had previously seen the Santa Fe flowing through the park, it was now at a stand still and even dried up in some spots. It didn’t stop us from appreciating the beauty of the park and the calm of our hike, with a little background music.
