February 6

camping 3 nights at Ocean Pond CG in Osceola National Forest in Fl. 23 miles of scenic trails-(hiked 6 yesterday)longleaf pines, red cockaded woodpeckers, site of Olustee Battlefield-Confederate troops pushed back Union troops on way to Tallahassee.  Quiet campground on big pond-more like lake with good fishing. Sandy is trying his hand at that but no luck yet-hope to get some for supper tonight! We are adjusting to our new life on the road. Sharing small space is challenging but we are improving in that area. More importantly is sharing our new adventures, stories and people. How refreshing it is to have time to appreciate the beauty of this country and also enjoying the interesting positive people we have met-all with different stories. we will write more about the process for beginning this venture later. Now a word from Chelsea-I love being with my family everyday. I have 3 beds in the rv which makes me happy and I get treats everytime I do not bark at someone or a car so I am learning very fast. I like hanging out outside the rv on my bed watching my family set up camp and cook out. This may be a dog's life after all.
