Wekiwa Springs State Park, Apopka, Florida

 After spending the week sleeping on the boat at Westland Marina, we drove back to Orlando to pick up the camper after the service work was done and headed again to Wekiwa Springs State Park. We got in early enough to find the trail to the springs before dark. Bears had been sighted so we had to keep everything packed up. We cooked dinner in the instant pot and the temperature had dropped so we ate dinner inside. We were plenty cozy and had a restful sleep. The next morning, we stopped at a coffee shop near Lake Eustis for breakfast on our way to Wewahitchka.

We found the springs trail
