Spent the last seven days in the Florida Everglades with no hook-ups. Couldn't get our usual site 9, so we had to haul water instead of the ease of hooking up our hose to fill our tank. But it all worked out okay. Visited all our favorite spots. Spent a lot of time at Mahogany Hammock with the new clutch of owlets.  They're really young this year. Met a really nice guy at Mahogany--an amateur wildlife photographer. He was shooting the owlets, and while there talking with him mama owl made an appearance. How neat is that! 

We left the Everglades (reluctantly) this morning around 10:00, stopped at the dump station and emptied our tanks, and were on our way.  Drove up the Florida Turnpike and stopped at the West Palm Service Area for some lunch and then Mike took over driving.  We arrived at Jonathan Dickinson SP in Jupiter and were set up by 2:00.  Extremely windy.  Left right away to do the laundry and grocery shopping.  With that out of the way, we have the rest of our time here for whatever.  Mid-80s today.

Pictures from the Everglades

The Everglades has huge areas of sawgrass dotted with hammocks.  And a river runs through it all!  Albeit a shallow river; anywhere from 2 inches to 2 feet deep.  The River of Grass.  A shadow of its former self however--what with all the water diversion and development that has taken place.

Thought there was only one owlet this year, but there's the other peeking out from behind.

Wish we would see one!

Mama owl.

This fuzzy little guy is just waiting to be fed.
