I also posted this in a different spot if you find it.

We just spent this past weekend camping at Manatee Springs SP here in Florida and we had a wonderful time. After setting up our tent and other campsite items the girls all went to check out the springs as I readied my daughter's new fishing rod though we didn't catch anything it was still some great Daddy/Daughter time.  Dinner was veggies wrapped into a foil packet and tossed onto the mini-charcoal grill while the tilapia bathed in bourbon & brown-sugar or citrus spice and butter was on the foil over the open pit plus instant mashed made a dinner second to none we've had in a very long time.

The following morning as the fog hung about the campsites we made sausage links followed by pancakes (Bisquick with 2 cups of water poured into the container).  As we watched the deer as they walked by within ten feet of our table we discussed how we still wanted to find that slightly used PUP.  No matter how close the restrooms are it would be nice for my girls to have something right there for them to use.  We'll be going back in March and my kids can't wait, though this time friends will be joining us and we're taking the scuba gear.

Thanks but that's a little far for us.  I've seen several in PA that would work but I'd have to wait until later this summer when we come up to visit family and if I don't find something down here in NE Florida / SE Georgia I may just do that by driving up either by myself and the family take AMTRAK (our usual routine) or them ride ride with me in an overnight drive.  I love the drive straight up I-95 going through Richmond, DC and picking up I-83 at Inner Harbor Baltimore to take me into Harrisburg and then about 5 different ways into the Schuylkill/Dauphin county coalmines.
