Econfina Creek


 Getting away from Nicole. Wednesday, November 9. I already was taking Friday off.  For my birthday.  The office was not going to open until noon, if at all, on Thursday. I had some time off saved for the annual Sanibel trip. Which is not happening this year, due to Ian.  I looked to see what campsites were available near Topsail Hill Preserve State Park.  Where I would be trailer camping, Friday and Saturday nights.  A cabin was available at Grayton Beach State Park. Just 8 miles away. Perfect.
I was on Econfina Creek at 11:40.

Looking into Pitt Spring
