Looks like we will not be there till after dark tomorrow. Turns out wife was on one page and I was on another. So will have to talk with her after her class tonight to make final travel plans.

Might be a good thing because I need to figure out a way to bring the smoker. My old truck had an open bed and this one does not, and I really do not want to take it off and put it back on.


But done with work :sausage: and am ready to relax a bit.see you all tomorrow.

Hey Jarjar...If you're going to be arriving after dark tomorrow, please keep this in mind. It's from the HH State Park/ReserveAmerica website: The park gates close at sunset. If you plan to arrive late please contact the park prior to 5 PM on the day of your arrival.

The park's phone number is : (863) 386-6094

Steve,

Thank you. For the info. I called them earlier and spoke with a Ranger. She told me to call back after 3 Tomorrow and we will go through soome ID clearing and then they will give me the gate code. The next morning I will have to then check in. She did not sound too excited or like it was a big deal. We will be arriving close to the park office closing time, so we may catch them anyways. Hopefully we can leave Haines City by 6:00-6:30. Only takes an hour or so depending on how we hit lights.
