The past few days are sort of a blur because we haven't felt up to doing much. We both came down with a cough and cold so there's nothing newsworthy to write about. We're both feeling much better now.
If you're wondering about this strange sounding location we're in, here's some facts lifted from the Wikipedia website:
The name Thonotosassa comes from the Seminole-Creek words thlonto and sasse, meaning the place was a source of valuable flint. Following the establishment of Fort Brooke in 1824 in what is now Tampa, a road that ran northwest of Lake Thonotosassa was built between Fort Brooke and Fort King in Ocala. Nevertheless, the presence of a Seminole village largely discouraged whites from moving into the area. After the Second Seminole War ended in 1842, whites began to settle.
We haven't seen any Indians, but there are a lot of RV's in Happy Traveler RV Park, which has over 200 sites. Snow bird season is in full swing in Florida, so many campgrounds are near capacity. Tomorrow, we hope to meet up with 4 of our NC camping club members who are staying just down the road. The weather here is nice and warm, and we feel for those of you whose weather conditions are more wintry.
