Inverness, FL: Left Manatee Springs this morning at about 10:30 and arrived at the Riverside Lodge Campground at around noon. Really cold again this morning. Very pretty drive down Rt. 41. Riverside Lodge is about 6 miles east of Inverness, FL. The campground is very nice. There are a lot of “permanent” units in here—mostly park models and some RVs. The pace is clean, well kept and very pretty—situated right on the Wilthlacoochee River. We’re right on the water—great view everywhere you look. Nothing but air boats going back and forth on the river. Wonder if that’s all that’s allowed? Would be great for the manatees. Lots of herons around and even a couple of river otters. Beautiful place really. We will definitely come back here. And, Inverness looks interesting. They have an old, historic district which we will be checking out.
