There is a large spring that is 72° year round (not like you will find in MO). The Manatees like to come here because of the warm waters and they have supposedly just arrived although we have not seen one yet. They swim up from the gulf in the Suwannee River. After we got here on Wed. we took the nature hike in the forest around the campground. There are about 8 miles of trails but we only did about 3.5. We saw deer, turkey, armadillos and lots of saw palmetto and long leaf pines.
Rain was forecast for Thursday. We got up late then decided to ride on a rails-to-trails bike path out of Chiefland before the rain started. We rode about 15 miles total and got back just as it started. The rest of the afternoon was spent doing laundry and catching up on emails. Still have not spied any manatees. But we did have an awesome dinner of fresh oysters (John likes them raw and I cook mine) and mahi-mahi grilled to perfection! Love that seafood!
