June 10, 2015—Three Rivers State Park, near Marianna, Fla.,
and about 45 minutes outside of Tallahassee, is truly beautiful. We can look
out at the lake from our campsite. I am sure Lake Seminole has an abundance of
fish,but so far, none has been tempted by our feeble attempts to catch them.
I did snag a baby alligator, who thought my worm lure looked appetizing. He spit it out though, so no harm to him or the lure.

We
only fished for a while last night (although I went out this morning while Jim
was still asleep), because for a couple of hours yesterday, Jim had to “play”
with the wiring on the car.

We intend to try our luck at fishing this lake. We are also
considering going down to the Gulf Coast to try our hand at surf fishing,
something we have been wanting to do for a year. Let me see...we live about
eight miles from the Atlantic Ocean in Jacksonville, where we can surf fish, so
we drive 238 miles here, then another 60 miles to the coast to try our hand at
this type of fishing. Does that make sense? And how about fishing in lakes and
rivers? Again, the Jacksonville area has an abundance of water around it, but
we drove five hours to go fishing in this state park.
Of course, fishing was just one of the reasons for this
trip. The main purpose for this trek was to get away for awhile, since it had
been so long since we had taken a vacation. (I know, I know: When you are
retired life is supposed to be one continual vacation. Unfortunately, it is
not.)
I have no internet access; I have a T-Mobile hotspot, but T-Mobile does not work in this area. (Fortunately, my AT&T-based Cricket cell phone operates well.) We only get one TV station during
the day, and it breaks up at night.
I think all that quiet is called serenity.
Until later,
Your Reluctant RoVer,
