Tomorrow we move to our next campground, Myakka River SP. It is very close to this area so no big drive. The cold front hit us too. The high today was 55o, but I'll take that over the temps Mom is reporting from PA. Above is a pic of Turtle Beach and a couple more on the slideshow. What beautiful sea shells the Gulf of Mexico gifts to this beach. I had to pick up a pocketful! We will plan to drive out to the coast again tonight. Turtle Beach was about a half hour drive, but the one today should only be 15 minutes? There is a lot of build up on the coast and you can be driving right beside the water and never see it! Thank goodness some was saved for the public. We won't have WiFi at the next parks so back to visiting public libraries.
We were blessed with good wildlife here. This cardinal and her mate visited yesterday and came very close for us to take their pictures. On a bike ride on some backcountry trails of the park (a lot of areas that were too sandy to ride and we pushed) we had a herd of wild pigs cross the path ahead of us. Three adults and 10 babies, no picture! We also saw my first FL Scrub Jay, a bird only found locally I believe. They are so pretty and the one we saw had no fear of us, coming very close for us to get a good look. The squirrels also like to come into the campsite. Sorry we keep our area clean. ;-)
