Just before I left Lithia Springs last Monday, 2\/24 for 6
\ndays at Silver Lake I found out that I needed to stay an extra day since my Hillsborough River two day reservations starting on 3\/2 was cancelled but I could still stay for one night. I was heading back south again to Tampa to fly to the British Virgin Islands on Wednesday. That\u2019s why I picked that campground.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course site 47 that I was going to would not be available for that extra night. I lucked out since site 48 would be available for one night, so today I moved over one site. I choose this site since it is the closest site to the boat launch and also has a great view. I was here for 15 days in December on site 46. So all 3 of those sites are good but #47 is the best.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m always thinking about Peggy and today I swear I was seeing double.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

But I never did paddle this week; I decided to do a couple
\nof long bike rides on the beautiful trails instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

The 46 mile Withlacoochee State Trail runs from near Dade
\nCity to near Dunnellon, FL, and there is a newer 10 mi trail that starts in
\nBrooksville and intersects the Withlacoochee Trail near our campground.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This makes it easy to get in 3 different 25 mile round trip bike rides shown on map.<\/span> I needed to get a haircut so I wouldn\u2019t look too shaggy on the upcoming BVI trip
\nand luckily a few years ago I found a good barber shop 1-1\/2 mi after the end of the trail near Trilby toward Dade City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though my rides were mid-week I was surprised how many cyclists were on all three sections. When they first opened the Good Neighbor trail I hardly saw anyone, this time I\u2019ll bet I saw 25 riders on that trail on Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n
So tomorrow I head a little south on US-301 and maybe I can paddle on the Hillsborough River. Then a few more miles and I’ll leave my RV at the Tampa airport large vehicle parking lot. They charge the same as I pay for camping and they don’t have any hookups. My solar panels will keep my refrigerator running and my batteries charged for the week I’ll be gone.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
