E.G. Simmons Regional Park, Ruskin, Fl., 77 mile jump
It was time to move on, we had completed all of the necessary projects. Time to let the four of them settle in. We headed to the south end of Tampa Bay to Simmons Park where we have stayed the previous two years. Lots of wildlife and room to hike and bike.
They are of first come first serve park meaning if there is room in overflow, you can wait for campers to leave then take their spot. They had tweaked the rules a bit and rented only by the 14 day and 28 day cycle. Having 21 days until our next reserved campground, we were unable to find sites that met that window.
I suggested that John and Joel get the extra cabinets so badly needed to organize the two family kitchen so we could install them during that week. They jumped on the opportunity!
We headed for the Cockroach Mountain, an amazing wildlife refuge we have visited often.
