Three Nights at O’Leno State Park and now at Juniper Springs

When we drove over to O’Leno we made on-line reservations for site 12 in Magnolia Campground which is right near the hiking trails.

Sunday turned out to be a nice day so we took a short hike, the pictures were in the last blog. It was a stormy cold night and cool morning on Monday, so I stayed in and updated the blog. It was cool and sunny Tuesday so we rode our bike around the park, it was a little too cool for Peggy. Wednesday we woke up to a heavy frost and left at 9:30 AM for the short drive to Juniper Springs, arriving at 11:30 AM. We got our favorite site #15 and will stay for two nights. Here are the temperatures for past few days and next two. It looks like it will be warming up again.

We took a bike ride around the park and arranged for a shuttle on Thursday on the 7 mile Juniper Run. We took a bunch of pictures in the park and found out that they closed all the boardwalks again. We plan to just carry our canoe from our campsite trail to the river  and launch at end of the trail.
