Manatee Springs SP (March 25-26)

The Zephyrhills house is closed and we are beginning our return to Trackrock. We drove about 125 miles and pulled into Manatee Springs SP. The trip was windy, but thankfully uneventful. Our site (#7), is quite nice, especially since it was the only one left and was unknown to us. We got set up and took a walk around the loops and down to the springs and the river.
Tuesday - It was too windy and chilly to kayak, so we did an explore instead. We went towards the gulf to Shell Mound. This is a really pretty area, and would be a great area to kayak and fish if the wind weren't blowing at 40 mph. We were going to meet Trackrock friends in High Springs, so we checked out Oleno SP, which is nearby. It is on the Santa Fe River and is very nice. We were going to camp there, but it was full. We met the family for dinner at Alice's Rest. We had a great time catching up with this wonderful family.
