We live about 25 mi. from Silver Spgs SP and drive past it every time we go to Ocala area. Visited there so many times as a kid, always fascinated by Ross Allen's snake shows. Since State of Fl took it over and it seems to us like it had lost some of it's prominence, however, the natural beauty is still there. We hadn't thought about taking the MH there for a stay but will add it to the places we want to go. Heading over to Manatee Spgs SP tomorrow for a 4 day stay wherein, after not being in the areas for well over 10 yrs, we'll again visit Steinhatchee and Cedar Key.
