i think im gonna try and go camping while the weather is still nice. the wife wants to go before summer and i think march would be a good time to go. maybe somewhere new this time. been to the state parks in manatee and sarasota and a couple in hillsborough. maybe need to venture somewhere new.

i got no problem sleeping in freezing weather.. i camped in ice storm in jersey.. the point where you stepped out of your tent and slipped and fell slid 10 feet with boxers on as you were trying to pee.. lol.. to the point where the tent was about to collapse, to the point where there was so much snow that when you unzipped your tent you would have to dig a hole to get out.. trust e.. i love it. now on the other hand theheat.. not a fan of.. see when its cold you can just get in the bag or throw on more cloths or a blanket.. when its hot.. you cant get away from it.. expecially if you start sweating.. horrible..

yeah, last weekend was cold. especially for a florida boy. this week, not so much. i would prefer to camp no warmer than highs in the upper 70's to low 80's and lows around 60 or so. thats ideal to me.

when its hot out, the best place to camp is ginnie springs up near gainesville. cold clear springs. its great. private land too, so you can drink and do whatever to some extent.
