Camel Lake – Apalachicola National Forest
1/31/2010 – 2/1/2010
Did you know there are alligators in every freshwater lake in Florida? Except for one of course that humans remove them from in order to teach scuba diving. Sort of a scary concept if you ask me – well, at least I’m not planning on swimming any time soon. That being said, we set up camp in the beautiful Camel Lake area in the northern part of the Apalachicola National Forest. With only 10 campsites, this campground is small although very well-maintained and a steal at only $10 per night. Not more than five minutes after we arrived we were welcomed by a few long-term camper-men. Friendly folk, we shared stories around a lighter-fluid fueled campfire along with a cabbage and potato and hot dog soup. While both did the trick, it illustrated the little differences between men and women campers. Our hosts were also full of gadgets and insisted we borrow a small space heater which quite frankly, was awesome, and made all the difference during the 37 degree night. It was a fun evening of conversation and laughs – much thanks to the hospitality of the Camel Lake “residents.”
