Dunnellon, FL / Rainbow Springs State Park

After getting settled into the campground at Rainbow Springs State Park, we took a short walk to the river.

We bought our truck!

We decided to go ahead and get a truck so that if we found the fifth wheel we wanted, we could jump on it. Both trucks and RVs are in high demand these days. After test driving various types of Ford, Ram and Chevy trucks, Randy ended up liking Fords Read more…
