Dupuis Equestrian Camp

We made it to our camp spot fer’ this week’s stay. Dupuis Wildlife Management Area is managed jointly by the South Florida Water Management District and the Florida Freshwater Fish and Game Commission. Normally when there are hunts going on here it’s closed to the general public. But most of the hunts, that would close the campground, are over for this year except Spring Turkey season.

Our friends Bud and Linda wanted to do some ‘dry campin’ so we decided to come down her and give it a try. We were here last year, not to camp, but just check it out and we liked what we saw. There are two campgrounds here but I don’t believe the one called the ‘Family Camp’ allows RV’s. The other is the Equestrian Camp that we are in. Lots of corrals, couple o’ horse barns and 40 miles o’ trails to ride. There are no horse folks here now, they left yesterday, just us another camper and the camp host. We came to relax and give the solar a workout.

Later on Bud decided to get out an inverter that he’s had fer’ a hundred years, well not really a hundred but a long time. He wanted to see if the TV would run from the inverter. So we hooked the inverter to his jumper type battery pack and plugged in the TV. At first we had trouble gettin’ any power out of the inverter but maybe there was a little corrosion on the switch from sittin’ so long, but it finally woke up.

We were watchin’ Dr. Oz outside from the picnic table.

So far this place is nice, we’ll see what the evening brings, so far just us and these guys,
