Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Topic Seven–January 28 to February 8, 2013

We stayed at Jonathan Dickinson State Park for 11 days. Gin and Syl arrived a day after us. Unfortunately, they both contracted “The Flu” at Disney World;o(( So they just stayed put and spent several days kicking the bug!! A little later in the week, Dan and Tricia arrived. Rather than do a day by day account, we will cover our stay here by topics. Click on any link below to go to that topic.


TOPIC  ONE:  THE CAMPGROUND…
TOPIC  TWO:  SUNRISE and SUNSET…
TOPIC  THREE:  BIRDS and CRITTERS…
TOPIC  FOUR:  FLOWERS and TREES…
TOPIC  FIVE:  PADDLE to TRAPPER NELSON SITE…
TOPIC  SIX:  JUPITURE ISLAND and HOBE SOUND NATURE…
TOPIC  SEVEN:  GEOCACHING

 
Jonathan Dickinson State Park has more geocaches than most parks we have visited.  Since it is such a large park, we used our bikes to go from cache search area to cache search area.  Many of the places we searched, we had to bushwhack our way through;o((

Notice Nancy is never along for the hunt. 
 
She does go with us, but she volunteers to “guard” the bikes;o))

Nancy here:  Well somebody has to take the pictures and protect our property!!!
Actually, I enjoy the PEACE and QUIET;o))
 
 
On one day, we searched for 21 caches and found 19!!!
 
Geocaching requires planning and strategy.

  4. No wonder you could find all those caches with that group of bloodhounds. I can see Bill was in Geo Heaven.
