We traveled south yesterday, skirting Ocala and driving down US441 through Lady Lake and the Villages. We aren’t used to this kind of traffic. The highway is four or six lanes and lined with shopping centers and subdivisions.
Our destination was Lake Griffin State Park. Our site was a bit tight.
And a bit slanted side to side. We parked the trailer as far to the right as practical and at a slight angle to minimize the tilt, but still needed three blocks under each driver side tire.
In the end we have a nice shady sitting area.
There is traffic noise and there are a lot of sirens, but the park is full of lovely old live oaks…
including this monster which is the second largest live oak in Florida. (I made Matey pose under it for scale.)
Trish braved the traffic yesterday afternoon to visit one more time. There were three accidents on I-75 making the hour and a half trip take three hours! Thanks, Tricia, it was great to see you one more time.
Bud took Matey and me on a much shorter drive to Palmetto Point Park to a disc golf course.
It, too, was in beautiful trees.
It made the game more challenging. If you enlarge this image you can perhaps see Bud’s green disc flying right down the middle of this fairway.
These beautiful parks are welcome oases in the overwhelming development here.
On the Roam Again 
Your description of the sights and sounds and traffic along US 441 is hard to fathom when I look at these pictures of this lovely park. An oasis indeed!
