Manatee Lake SP, Sarasota, FL:  Today was a lazy day.  Really chilly again this morning, but it warmed up nicely by late morning.  I spent an inordinate amount of time backing up the laptop.  It seems my backup drive is getting full, since I back up both the laptop and the desktop at home.  So I got rid of a bunch of stuff that didn’t need backing up anyway.  After that we had to go back to civilization to get some batteries for our walky-talkies.  I walked to the front gate and Mike picked me up there.  Got the batteries and some groceries.  Then back and sat outside in the sun until it got later and the shadows got longer.  Tomorrow we head to Ft. Myers, FL, and the W. P. Franklin Corps of Engineers campground.  Most of the people in the park left today.  

Tortoises wandered through our site last year.  None this year.  Probably too cold.
