Days #62-63 of Our Epic Trip

St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, Port St. Joe, Florida

We left Walmart after an uneventful night. It was quiet after Walmart closed at 11pm. We drove to the US Forest Service Park Office in Crawfordville, FL to get an America the Beautiful Senior Lifetime Pass for national parks and federal recreation lands. This pass will give us free entry to over 2000 national parks and also offers some discounts.

Florida has the best names for the state parks and forests. We drove through Tate’s Hell State Forest and apparently the name is based on local legend.

It was another travel day to get to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Port St. Joe, FL. It is right on the gulf coast. We will be staying two nights here and it looks like a brand new campground. It’s beautiful! Daniel said the area looks like something out of a Dr. Seuss book because of the trees and vegetation. We took the boys for a hike and then we went to the beach and watched the sun set over the Gulf of Mexico.

St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, Port St. Joe, Florida

It’s raining today so we decided to explore some nearby towns. We went to Port St. Joe, FL and Apalachicola, FL to walk around and visit the shops. Then we drove around St. George Island and marveled at all the houses on stilts. The rain stopped just in time for a sunset and a double rainbow.
