I forgot to mention yesterday while we were at Manatee Springs, I was really hoping to see some manatee's. We went at 3pm, and were told at the ranger station that visitors saw 10 at 12pm, so I was very hopeful. I was very disappointed when I, nor any one else saw them while we were there. Joe got tired of looking and went back to the car with Mallery, and I spent another 30 minutes looking, hoping as the day cooled down they would come back to the spring. I finally gave up around 5;30, and went to the car where Joe was waiting and reading a book. Today, we visited 2 more parks. the first one we visited was Yellow Jacket in Old town on the Suwannee River. It is rated one of the top ten in the USA. It was very nice, with 10 individual shower rooms and a very nice, new rec. hall and dock on the river with rental pontoons boats. We could get it with our Passport membership for $14 a night for 7 nights, but zero bars on our cell phone, and we want to find somewhere for a month.

After lunch we went to Chiefland, just down the road 10 mile. Along the way we stopped at a fresh fruit and vegetable stand (awesome fl oranges), Dakota Winery for wine tasting, and ended our day at Wal-Mart. We also stopped and checkout 2 other campgrounds in Chiefland, and would be OK for a night or two, but not what we are looking for for a month.
Howdee..
