Fri, Nov 16:  Lake Pan RV Park, Lake Pan, FL, to Lake Manatee SP in Bradenton, FL:  Left this morning at 11:30.  Only a short drive today, so Mike drove all the way.  Continued south on I75.  Wasn’t long before we hit construction.  But it didn’t last long. It seems there is always construction on I75, but that’s why the road is in such good shape.  Just north of the exit for I4 the traffic came to an abrupt halt.  Figured there was an accident or something.  Nope.  The road crew had some heavy equipment off to one side doing something, and everyone had to slow down to see what was going on.  After that it sped up.  A lot of traffic in both directions.  We got here and were set up by 2:30.  Only 67 here but a beautiful, sunny day.  Supposed to warm back up starting tomorrow.  Here for 7 days. 

Lots of tortoises around here.
