We drove up through St Augustine and then stopped off at Ken's house to drop off the canoe. Ellen was feeling sick soo we did not venture inside and we began calling the house the plague house! No one was up for a bout of Noro virus so we headed off to Huguenot State Park for our last night of camping.
