No hills, but lots of huge trees dripping with Spanish moss! This state park near Tampa is top notch in our books. Sites don't come with a cement patio, but where else can we park in a jungle like atmosphere? Hillsborough River St. Park has over 3000 acres, a river that runs through it, lots of trails, a cafe, and even bikes to rent.
Below is the bridge that crosses over the Hillsborough River within the park boundaries. The park itself was built in 1938 by the CCC.
The swimming pool here covers half an acre! It's huge, and our camping fees of $26 a day include passes to the pool.
Gary was checking out the cute little armadillo that was meandering around. It paid no attention to him at all!
Check out the toenails on this creature! 
Jerry, Sandy and Don took time to pose for me on the suspension bridge. Later on that morning, Jerry and I hiked the Baynard Trail, starting out at this bridge and winding up at the other bridge farther down the river. It wasn't hot when we walked, but it was very, very humid. We couldn't take time to stop and read the information signs because the mosquitoes would have circled around and made a meal of us! 
Yep, that's me looking down over the railing. Jerry, Sandy and Don insisted that I be in one of the pictures. It seems I'm always behind the lens taking pics of others. I like it that way!
