Day 113: Gold Head Branch State Park, FL

We saw our first snake yesterday, a venomous Eastern Coral Snake.  It was a juvenile (about a foot long - about half adult size).   Coral snakes can be confused with non-venomous King Snakes, and a rhyme helps to distinguish between the two:

"Red on yellow kills a fellow

Red on black you're OK Jack."

Yesterday was a day off, while we waited for the possibility of an available campsite near St Augustine today.  We explored the remainder of the developed portion of Gold Head Branch State Park, then passed the rest of the day reading, playing games and walking the dog.  The rains returned in the late afternoon, in the form of light to very heavy showers.  We drove into town for dinner and the rain came down so hard that the road was barely visible, with large amounts of water on the roadway.  But after that it was mainly lighter showers throughout the night.
