Yulee Florida to Folkston Georgia

Tonight we are in Folkston Geirgia. It is near the Okefeenkee Swamp. Our drive was short today because we are having a harder time finding rv parks. When I called about this one he said he had space available. That turned out to be an understatement. When I put the address in my gps and drove here I pulled in at an old dilapated sign to an over grown field that looked like an abandoned rv park. I called the number for the park to ask if they had changed addresses or something but he said no. Pull back in, he was there. I guess this place closed last year and he pulled everything out. Now he has decided to reopen and we are his first customers since reopening. We have the place to ourselves  At least we have electric and water. Later in the day we went over to the Okeefenokee Wildlife Refuge Center. Most of the refuge was closed because they are having a big fire but we were able to go in the visitor center and take a short hike on a trail. There was a good video about the swamp and as we walked along the trail we saw alligators. There were 8 of them lying along the stream. Of course we forgot our cameras. We took a picture with our cell phone but since we don't know how to take it off the phone and put it somewhere else no one will ever be able to see it. We have a church to attend tomorrow. Since it is mother's Day we will be able to visit with Aaron, our son who is serving a mission for our church in Brazil. I am looking forward to a nice day tomorrow.
