Stephen Foster Culture State Park in White Springs FL AND....we have a new family member!!

Well, we've been adopted!  Had a nice week up at Stephen Foster Culture State Park in White Springs Fl.  On our 2nd evening there we were visited by a hound....stayed at the edge of the campsite, but with the aid of some cheese got him to get close.  Last night he came back (we were having a pot luck and he smelled the grill going?) and I got a collar on him....but he slipped it.  So, I talked to some campground hosts and they said he (they called him Buddy) had been hanging around the park since around December....they and others were feeding him but the Park Rangers had decided he had to go to the shelter soon if no one took him.  I told them we were interested and they managed to collar him this morning.  Don't know if he ever rode in a motor home before (or a car for that matter) but he did well in both.  He's very nervous and it's going to take some acclimation time.  He's a Walker Coon Hound, and we figure about a year old. VERY affectionate... Tomorrow we'll be making a vet appointment for his shots, getting him fixed etc.  So, we're hoping Buddy is happy here and likes camping :).  I need the walking exercise and this guy will see to it that it happens...he's rescued me.
