Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park

 
One of our favorite state parks, not too far from home, but a completely different feel, with wide open spaces and dark skies. It's a favorite spot for local Astronomers, far enough away from city lights for sky watching. There is a special pad for setting up your astronomy gear and exterior bathroom lights are all red to keep from destroying your night vision and reduce light pollution. There's two loops, one for equestrians with horse paddocks in front. We're in the main loop right now. The campsites are pretty well shaded, but the rest of the place is prairie. Last night there was a big storm and the power was out for over 3 hours. So we don't have a generator, we haven't tried out the toilet yet, we think the tanks may have a crack. We can use the bathroom sink, but somewhere there is water dripping from one of the tanks, probably grey.
There is a big scratch on the passenger side.
Fridge Compartment - a mouse nibbled everywhere
Mud on the tires, the ground was wet coming into the park
Happy in bed
Cool beetle we found - Rainbow Scarab

Somewhat better pictures of the poems on the side windows.
