The trip to Crawfordville was a nice relaxing
drive. US 19 is really a pleasant drive
once you pass Crystal River, very little traffic and relaxing views of the
country side. We took US 98 all the way to Crawfordville, where we spent the night at Newport
Campground It is a small county park
and I had the feeling of “what have I got us into” when I saw it. It is set up in the typical circle with green
space in the middle and sites backing up to the woods surrounding it. To reach our pull thru site, so we didn’t
have to drop the car, Big Bob had to go through the middle of the open space
and in between trees. But no problem for
him (I did not look). Site worked out just fine for us.
The bath house was immaculate and the little campground is very nice.
We were in
for a few surprises when we went for a walk the next morning. The is an
Observation Walk Way from the campgrounds and within 100 steps in opens to the St
Mark’s River.
There is also a board walk
to the boat ramp. The campground also
had a nice fish weigh and cleaning table for the campers.
We left just before noon on Sunday and headed to St Andrews Park. Rather than travel the way Tom the GPS wanted us to go we elected to take US 98 and were not disappointed. We were on the Big Bend Scenic Byway, one of the scenic road ways of Florida. Another ‘done it” we can cross of the list of roads to travel. The pictures do not do it justice, (but they were taken while moving and through the coach’s window).
We continued 98 and were so glad we did. The travel was awesome.
It gives a person a warm fuzzy feeling know that Florida is not all concrete yet and is still beautiful.
We are here at St Andrews Park for the next four days and I can tell we will busy exploring the area.
