Lake Manatee State Park

Thu, Nov 19, Lake Manatee State Park, Bradenton, FL:  Cloudy and humid today. But no rain yet. Spent the day futzing around getting ready to leave tomorrow. Mike filled up the water tank, since we’ll be two days at Homestead without hookups. These two days will give us an idea of how the inverter will work, and how well the solar panels will keep the batteries charged. We’re not going to be in a regular site. We’ll be in the “overflow” area right across the street from Esther and Gerald, our Canadian friends. They only charge $15/night. There for two nights and then we head down to the Keys. Mid-80s today. Left-overs for dinner.

The trees in here are all swathed in Spanish moss.
