Miles 207
We got a pretty late start today and then we spent
about an hour at the Big Cypress Welcome Visitors Center. I think I found
out the birds I videoed yesterday are Cormorants. It is still unclear to me
because the ones I took photos of had orange throats and the ones the ranger
claimed they were did not have any orange, it is confusing. I can certainly
understand that a bird can change coloring at different ages but she didn't
address my question about the orange coloring. She told me younger ones are
more white (?) There were other people and to keep asking seemed rude so I gave
up. When we pulled into the welcome center there was another Casita parked
there! Of course I took a photo of us side by side and when we were walking out
of the Center we were about to go in. Their Casita is a 2007 and badly needed a
shine. He commented on that, not me. Anyway, they were headed for the Keys. We
chatted for a little while, a nice couple from MO. We exchanged emails and I
told them I would send them info about the Casita Owners FB site we are on
because it is interesting and informative most of the time. They spoke of
wanting to visit CA but have not because of our high gas prices. I guess it is
all relative. We enjoyed the Welcome Center but we were disappointed we didn't
see the Manatees they sight there frequently. So back on State Hwy 41 to Naples, then a short jog on 866 (also known at
the Golden Gate Parkway), which put us on Interstate 75. We took that to St.
Petersburg where we are parked at Cracker Barrel tonight.
Casitas!
