Manatee Springs State Park

Alan and Sherry got flooded out so we decided to pack up and head to drier weather. We drove right into the storm, so stopped in Perry for a bite to eat. After lunch, the sun come out and we had fair weather till we arrived at Manitee Springs. We got the last tent site and after setting up camp  went off for a short hike to the Suwannee River to view the manatees.  The mom and her baby were swimming  in the 74• degree spring water. There’s a nice boardwalk to take you out into the river. Looked like a great place to kayak.  The concession there provided a rack of ribs for dinner along with the Asian salad from Walmart and a bottle of wine ended our first day.

Today we went for a scenic hike with many interpretive stations providing education about the local  flora. It was a very hot day so a cool shower,  cold beer and free WiFi made our day complete.
