Myakka River SP second visit
We are back to Myakka River SP for another week, site 14. This stay is much warmer. Temps are in the high 70’s to 80’s now, evenings in the 60’s. Our site this stay is much nicer. Bigger space and away from the water pump which is close to the bathhouse.
We are being treated with regular visits from a new sow here at the camper. She came a few days alone but when the babies were big enough they came with her. She stopped right behind our camper to feed them. That pig is one of the most photographed animals in the park!
We had a visit from Martin and Jane Reiff while here. They joined us on a paddle of the Myakka River. They took to kayaking very quickly.
Jane show skill in quick turning when she saw a particularly large gator!
We were treated with watching a family of limpkins at the lake. The parents were feeding about 5 young ones snails they found in the water.
Our site for the short 2 days we were in John Pennekamp in the Keys, site 31. This section of sites was pretty narrow. The sites as you enter the campground were larger. The park is small but is much quieter than Bahia Honda. The Visitors Center has a 30,000 gallon aquarium to view. We did a paddle and hear that the snorkeling is great here. It is still chilly and we are returning in March so we will wait to try the snorkeling then. I’m told that the no-seeums can be bad here. We’ll hope that we don’t experience that!
We are back to Oscar Shearer SP and WiFi! We will post again at the end of the week.
