Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park

Ocean Pond is a 2 mile in diameter lake with the campsites along the North shore. Here we are, packed up for our last night in Florida.

On our last day here we decided to take a bike ride over to the Historic Battlefield. It is only 4-1/2 miles by bike from our campsite and it is well worth the visit.

They have a small museum that shows a film with a good explana-tion of the battle that the Union should not have fought and ended up losing because of their incompetence. There were 2800 casualties and nothing was accomplished that mattered in the war.

There is a big reenactment of the battle every February, but today we were the only visitors.

Heading Home a Little Earlier This Year

Finally the weather turned warm and dry for us, so what do we do? That’s right, we plan to head home to take advantage of the warm weather forecast for NE Ohio. Our plans could change if the weatherman lets us down, but right now it looks like it would be good for unpacking our RV at home with the temperatures in the 60’s.

This means we would want to get home by Friday night 3/11 or Saturday morning. To allow a leisurely drive home, we will leave our campground here at Ocean Pond on Wednesday morning. We hope to be in SC on Wednesday night and in WV on Thursday night.
