We got to our campsite on Valentines day. It is the same campground we were at in January but we got a much nicer campsite. It is under a nice big shade tree , however now we can\u2019t see the sunrise or sunset like we could in our other site#11. At least it is not out in the hot sun and it is more private with a better view. We occasionally see Bald Eagles in the tree directly across the channel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because of the hot weather and the windy days we only paddled twice up Telegraph Creek for a 7 mile paddle, but the river was also very low since there has not been much rain. Telegraph Creek can be paddled upstream for about 3 miles or so and there are a lot of birds and a few turtles.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>Right before it empties out into the Caloosahatchee River there was always a big alligator hanging out. On the opposite bank was a crazy boxer dog that would bark at us and jump into the water. The alligator usually went in also, I figured maybe that was his strategy to grab the stupid dog while he was preoccupied with barking at us.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

We also only biked twice around the neighborhood streets and that was only 9 miles each time. I guess we are either getting lazy, getting old or hate biking in 80o weather.<\/span>

\n<\/span>Early on Friday morning we will head north to Lithia Springs Park. We will do some grocery shopping and get some propane in Arcadia, FL.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>They don\u2019t take reservations and Fridays are usually not a good day to arrive. It is supposed to be a cold weekend so we are hoping there will be a campsite that we can get.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
