Sugar Mill

We went to a near by park that had ruins of an old sugar mill. The park had more than we expected to see with water views and lots of cool scenery. A second stop at Washington Oaks State Park was a bit disappointing - not with the place but much of the park was either not open or under maintenance. So no reflecting ponds, sad. Then we drove on to St. Augustine. The old fort was great. We had not been there in a long time, so another NP we did not plan on visiting this trip but we were able to enjoy. Photos will be on Monday. Excellent talk by a NP Volunteer about some Plains Indians that were prisoners here from 1845 to 1848. Mostly positive story out of tragic circumstances.

One of the few flowers still blooming or just blooming at Washington Oaks.
