Florida Day 13


It's a time change, so we're a bit turned around!

Woke to an overcast but warm day. We hiked the third trail and it was so quiet and lovely. We were welcomed by a Great Egret looking for breakfast:




We saw some footprints that were suspicious (okay, I thought a Florida Panther, but our poop and scat identification book said dog. Jeesh). But mostly just birds (we saw Jays and Cardinals and heard Ospreys).

We took the bikes out of the park in the afternoon. I thought it was interesting at Grayton Beach to ride from the “wilderness” to a Starbucks, but here we took a sidewalk several miles into strip malls, a Winn Dixie and a well-deserved McFlurry!

After dinner, with darkness now coming an hour “later”, we enjoyed the nicest part of the day, some sun and warmth and enjoyed a coffee and the neighbour pouring gallons of BBQ starter onto his campfire (he never did get it to catch!).

Here's the view of me IN my chair (we wanted to show how big these campsites are):
