Took a ride Monday May 4 through the Ocala National Forest, stopped buy some state park camps. Yep still closed, NF dispersed camp sites closed also. Sign 20 ft up a tree"DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS AREA IS CLOSED LAW ENFORCMENTBIS PATROLLING" I have camped there many times over the years I have never seen Law Enforcment patrolling there, Lets not get to close to nature.

Well I discovered if you want to camp you must hike in on the trail or travel back some NF Road well into back country. As if camping by nature is not social distancing. It almost like you have to sneek into the woods no to camp! Just crazy insane but I did find some nice spots its been on my agenda anyway to find some very remote sites.

With the Super-Flower-Moon comming on May 7 its going to be the last super moon for 2020. Cant miss this one got nice open spot deep in the woods. Rolling open hills tall pines very spectaular sopt. I'm planning to do my 17th-early 18th century camp setup. What better way very primitive camp deep in the forest.

Well looks like everything is closing.

The beaches are now all closed, no access no fishing threatening to arrest if caught on the beach! Well with food being short in the stores it would be nice to catch some fish.

Campgrounds all closed? Social distancing is the camping way of life! So far the National forest is still open if you walk there parking is shut down. Walk to the forest with backpack hike in the back country looks like only option, possibly may be able to find dispersed, hidden spots.

Just placed order online for groceries first time hope it goes well.

But no loss because Saturday is the annual Palatka Air Show combined with antique cars.

So we will reschedule for the next new moon! Since they come around pretty regularly!
