Big spider we encountered on our hike...

Manatee Spring

Tue, 11/11/08

Manatee Springs SP, FL:
Another beautiful morning after a chilly night. Mike laid a fire this morning and we sat around reading and enjoying the warmth. Early afternoon we hiked the sink hole trail. We’ve been coming here for over 4 years now and didn’t even know there are a whole network of aquatic tunnels and caves about 80 feet below the surface of the park. Scuba divers have explored about 8 miles of caves and tunnels. A pretty hike and then we walked down to the Suwannee River. No manatees but we saw an otter in the spring run. Had steaks, mashed potatoes and southwest corn for dinner tonight. Sunny and low 70s today. Tomorrow we leave for Hillsboro River State Park.
