Wright Lake NFS Campground, Sumatra, Fl., 55 mile jump
After a very inauspicious departure from Ochlockonee SP, we were glad to arrive at Wright Lake NFS Campground without rain. Last night, we did as much packing as possible, including backing the truck up to the trailer hitch. All that was left was the four stabilizer jacks, retracting the awning, and raising the trailer up a few inches to back the hitch ball under the hitch.
We had until 1 pm to check out, the overnight rains had abated, the forecast had no more rain. So, we got our breakfast and tea; Penny headed for the shower. As I was retracting the awning, a cloudburst nearly drowned me! The downpour left as quickly as it arrived; I was soaked to the bone. Penny arrived back from the shower house looking as if she showered in her clothes! She put on dry clothes and I went to the shower.
I put on dry clothes and we were ready to travel. All we had to do was hookup. As I did so, another squall let loose. We had put on rain coats, but our shorts, socks and shoes were drenched. So, after dumping our waste tanks sans rain, we changed clothes once again.
This park like campground has huge sites with water hookups, but like most national parks, no electric hookup. And there was no cell phone service! It’s been awhile since we primitive camped. We’ll make the best of it!
