\u00a0I left Greg\u2019s home on Thursday after the overnight rain ended at 2pm. It was only a 1 hr drive to North of Greenville. This is the beginning of the beautiful wide paved Swamp Rabbit Trail that goes though Greenville. I parked at an Ingalls Super Market parking lot where they said overnight parking for the trail was OK. I left Greg\u2019s home on Thursday after the overnight rain ended at 2pm.

This is the
\nbeginning of the beautiful wide paved Swamp Rabbit Trail that goes though
\nGreenville. I parked at an Ingalls Super Market parking lot where they said overnight parking for the trail was OK.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I did my 25 mile bike ride to Unity Park and back. It is
\nmostly downhill heading into Greenville so I peddled about 3 mph slower coming back. I checked out where I could park my RV when I did the next part of the trail past Reedy Falls and past the zoo. I got back about 3 pm and it was nice and sunny and warm. I decided to stay overnight here again and start working on my new plans.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

It was hard finding places to camp that would have something
\nto do since many of the GA campgrounds were closed for all of next week. The only ones I found available were Magnolia Springs SP south of Augusta and Laura Walker SP on the north side of the Okefenokee near Waycross GA. Next week that\u2019s where I\u2019ll stay but I still have about 10 more days to find camping spots.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday morning I decided to drive to a Walmart near the
\ntrail in Greenville, it was only a 20 minute drive and I could park there and
\nplan my next few weeks before my next confirmed reservations at Cypress Glen
\ncampground near Brooksville, FL. It took me all day to get reservations and complete my planning so I\u2019ll not get back on the trail until Sunday morning. After that I\u2019ll drive a couple of hours to Augusta to see if parts of that trail have reopened.<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\njust found out that Lithia Springs County Park near Tampa has reopened but that will take me 2 hours further south than Cypress Glen but it might be the only nice place to bike & paddle. So this is my new Tentative Trip Schedule.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/span>
