Slowly heading North–Back at WP Franklin

North Bound FL Trip Map

The FL map above shows our next four planned camping spots. Yesterday we headed north (only 10 miles to #2 – WP Franklin Corps of Engineers Campground where had stayed last month. We will stay here two weeks before heading North to #3 – Lithia Springs County Park for 5 days and then North to #4 – Silver Lake Park in Withlacoochee State Forest for 4 more days and finally to #5 – Ocean Pond Campground in Osceola National Forest. 

We don’t plan to drive on any interstate highways until be reach NC. We find that the state and local highways have less truck traffic and in the south are in much better condition than our northern roads and therefore much more relaxing to drive.

After Ocean Pond we will begin to check the weather in Cleveland as well as the road conditions for driving through GA, SC, NC, VA, WV & OH. We usually plan to get home about mid March.

We got to our campsite on Valentines day. It is the same campground we were at in January but we got a much nicer campsite. It is under a nice big shade tree , however now we can’t see the sunrise or sunset like we could in our other site#11. At least it is not out in the hot sun and it is more private with a better view. We occasionally see Bald Eagles in the tree directly across the channel.

Because of the hot weather and the windy days we only paddled twice up Telegraph Creek for a 7 mile paddle, but the river was also very low since there has not been much rain. Telegraph Creek can be paddled upstream for about 3 miles or so and there are a lot of birds and a few turtles.

Right before it empties out into the Caloosahatchee River there was always a big alligator hanging out. On the opposite bank was a crazy boxer dog that would bark at us and jump into the water. The alligator usually went in also, I figured maybe that was his strategy to grab the stupid dog while he was preoccupied with barking at us.

We also only biked twice around the neighborhood streets and that was only 9 miles each time. I guess we are either getting lazy, getting old or hate biking in 80o weather.






Early on Friday morning we will head north to Lithia Springs Park. We will do some grocery shopping and get some propane in Arcadia, FL.  

They don’t take reservations and Fridays are usually not a good day to arrive. It is supposed to be a cold weekend so we are hoping there will be a campsite that we can get.

Hot two weeks but now turning colder

As I feared, when we got to Lithia Springs Park on Friday morning we found there was no available camp sites for the weekend. None of the other Hillsborough County Parks had any sites available. I looked at my maps and figured since it was still early in the day and the weather was finally warming back up, maybe we should take a bike ride and try for a free camp somewhere.

We had never tried the 29 miles long paved Van Fleet State Trail which runs from Polk City a little east of Lakeland, north to SR50. It was easy to get to. The trail is not as busy as the Withlacoochee State Trail and had less walkers. So the bike groups like it because they can run at 20 mph without worrying about running into someone coming around a curve. This trail is absolutely straight with one gentle curve.

We did an 18 mile round trip up and back to the next access parking lot and never passed anyone. The trail was in partial sun and it was a windy day.

Our plan was to then overnight at a Walmart parking lot in Gibsonia north of Lakeland. When we got there the lot was full of signs that said no RV parking. So we kept on going to Zephyrhills where we knew there was a quiet Lowes that we could park.

We had a good night’s sleep but needed to find something to do and where to camp for the next two days. We knew our campsite at Silver Lake was not available until Monday.

We found the Withlacoochee River Park nearby, I called and they said they had an available site but when we got there someone had taken it. He told us no problem the recreational field has 25 empty sites with water and 30 amp hookups but no tables.  It was out in the bright sun on this cool day so it was fine but other that a few short hiking and biking trails there was not much to do so we only stayed overnight on Saturday.
I suggested that we are still very close to the North end of the Van Fleet State Trail so lets go over there around noon on Sunday, and try that end of the trail.


This time we did a 19 mile round trip from Mabel to Bay Lake Trailhead. Being a Sunday we saw more people but it was an easy fast ride on a flat trail. They have toilets at the 4 parking areas and benches or picnic tables at one mile intervals. This end is through a swampy area but was still very scenic.

We had one more night to find a place to stay and we knew there was a Cracker Barrel Restaurant only a couple of miles from Silver Lake Campground where we had reservations for the next 6 nights starting Monday night. We had a nice dinner and stayed in their parking lot for the same price as the last campground charged. Of course it was right next to noisy I-75 but we were tired and slept well.

Early Monday we got our site in the Cypress Glen Camp loop and had another rest day. On Tuesday we will bike the Withlacoochee State Trail to the post office in

Nobleton where we can mail Joan and Meg’s birthday cards. As usual we will miss both their birthdays.
