O'leno State Park Camping/Ichneetucknee tubing

Judi and I went camping at Oleno State Park for three days. Judi brought her generator so we could have air conditioning. We had some fabulous rides. We saw tons of deer; they were even playing in the camp ground. One mother had two little spotted fawns. We saw an armadillo with four babies and a racoon with three babies that scooted up a tree to watch us. They have some new trails made....but the ticks were pretty bad. Trice, Ronda,her husband, and Noah came up on Sunday and we went tubing down the Ichneetucknee River. I bought a little raft with me because my bum arm cant handle one of the big tubes. Well, the raft deflated so here I am in the water waiting for them to blow it up and everyone starts yelling SNAKE. They gave me the raft but I was so panicked I could not get on the stupid thing. I re injured my arm. Patice is trying to say pam watchout without freaking me out. I turn my head, I am still in the water up to my eyes, I am almost eyeball to eyeball with this huge snake. I started screaming and flailing the thing finally slithered away. Now I am not usually too afraid but when you are in the water you are a captive audience so to speak. That was NOT FUN. Then it got real dark and just as we are catching the tram the storm breaks. We cancelled our picnic and ate at Floyd's Dinner. It was pretty good.We want to return some time. So they all hit the road. It was just me and Judi. I think we put on a movie, took a quick ride in the morning and headed home.

Pam, you are so lucky that nothing worse happened. Those water snakes are dangerous creatures.
