Where has the time gone?

Wow...the last time I wrote anything on here was Blue Spring.... We have seen so many things since then.  Our next stop, Tomoka State Park was a whirlwind of adventures.  We only had 3 nights there, but we had 5 other parks to see!  Whew!  Tomoka is a beautiful, well kept, friendly state park.  The paths of overhung arching trees are the best.  It's a magical fairy land of oaks and Spanish moss. Tomoka itself, has many opportunities for paddlers to go canoeing and kayaking, fishing and hiking.  It's part of the Florida Birding Trail and has a lot of interesting wildlife to view there. It is in a beach community, and a short distance from swimming.  Ormond Beach is the surrounding town.  Other state parks that are close to Tomoka include Bulow Creek, Bulow Plantation Ruins, Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach, North Peninsula State Park and Addison Blockhouse State Park (which currently has no access to it, YET).  Out to the west is Haw Creek Preserve State Park which also has limited access.
