Manatee Springs State Park, Chiefland, FL:  This morning dawned bright and sunny.  We walked over to the Suwannee River and there were two manatees in the river at the end of the dock.  Water is low in the spring run and the river.  This spring emits about 50 to 150 million gallons of water a day.  And it’s considered a medium-sized spring.  Shortly after lunch the clouds started rolling in.  No rain, but it sure cooled down.  For dinner Mike grilled some steaks and I sautéed thinly sliced potatoes with onion and red pepper.  After dinner we played Monopoly for a while.
