We woke up to the sun smiling it's way through the trees and scrub. What a beautiful day in Florida. The temps were on the rise, going to the mid 70's. I think we've found warmth.
Breakfast was inside the travel trailer today as there was still a chill in the air. After breakfast, coffee, and some Bible reading, we took off for a walk around the park. During our walk, we got side tracked on a trail not too far from our campsite. We found large tracks, way too big to be dog tracks. We figured that they must be black bear, because they are plentiful around these parts. We just haven't seen one yet.
When we walk off the road or foraging for wood,
We found it best to keep our eyes peeled for this:
He or she is about 3 inches in diameter and they grow larger. We think it's a banana spider and they love to spin huge webs (3-5 feet wide) at just about face level. You can be walking along and if it you aren't looking ahead for a web, you might just have a close encounter with one of these Florida delights. But, since I just learned that they eat cockroaches, they are OKAY in my book because I think the cockroach is the Florida state mascot - or should be. We spend enough money keeping them at bay in Lakeland at the mobile.
We got our work done up around 2 pm this afternoon and sat down outside in the sun to read. How sweet it is. It's supposed to hit 80 degrees tomorrow. We finished off the day with Sheryl's homemade pizza and a campfire.
Tomorrow's another day and another adventure.
