RODMAN CAMPGROUND, FLORIDA STATE PARK IN PALATKA

A wonderful campground tucked between Gainesville and Flagler Beach.
The Florida Trail is accessed through this park so walk a portion of this magnificent trail with us. Learn a bit about the debacle that was the Cross Florida Barge Canal constructed by the Army Corp of Engineers.

[@ElisaExplores]

Wonderful! It really was a nice campground. We will very likely go back there!

[@valeriemartinez6206]

Thats my spot for this Spring Break with my kids! Can't wait!

[@FollowThomas]

I camped there on my Florida Trail hike and after that couple of times. I liked it, it's a nice peaceful campground. I read that U.S. president stopped the cross Florida canal construction with an executive order because of environmental concerns. All the best to your travels 🙂

I think that may have been a Pigmy rattlesnake, good thing you left it alone :)

[@ElisaExplores]

I think it was too. Those little guys are scary! Small and hard to see! Thanks for commenting!!!

[@vincentizzo8408]

It wasn’t a total debacle it helped us get through some hard times and many people benefited from the work that it provided

[@rosemiller646]

Wonderful, as well as relaxing, camping video! Beautiful & peaceful campground and hiking trails, too; and I love the unique history & waterway. That snake looks like a pygmy rattlesnake, which are very poisonous. Good to know they are there so they can be looked out for. Gators are.also common there, so definitely no swimming (and that includes the dogs). And btw, and I’m sure you’ve heard this before, do you realize that you’re married to “Johnny Cash?!” I couldn’t help but see (& hear) so many similarities!

[@ElisaExplores]

He is now singing Johnny Cash songs around the house after reading your comment. Thank you so very much for the kind words. You made our day!

[@rosemiller646]

@@ElisaExplores So funny! You guys made my day as well! Happy trails!

[@debiogle3798]

Your dogs are so cute! Your Afghan is looking good. I have made many and now I’m into quiltslove that live oak tree at the plantation. Cant you just imagine the social life on that huge porch?

[@ElisaExplores]
