Myakka River State Park
Sarasota, Florida
Roseate spoonbill at Myakka River State Park.
Marc- This was a travel day so the entry will be rather brief. Half of the day was spent on the highway and fortunately it was uneventful. We arrived at Myakka River State Park to find a 45 square mile park made up of grasslands, a river and two lakes. The trees are a combination of live oaks and tall palms. There are four campgrounds with plenty of shade. There is a man made Canopy walkway and towers. Fred and Emily Lewis met us for lunch and then we visited this walkway. It's a suspension bridge, about 30 feet in the air near the tops of most trees, connecting two wooden towers. The tallest tower is about 60 feet in the air and it was swaying a bit in the 30 knot winds.
This is a sign right next to our camper. It's the first time we have seen one of these in a campsite.
These two gators were about 500 feet from the campsite (they tend to stay near the water).
Canopy walkway.

Ann and George Kyriacou (Fred's sister) invited us over to their beautiful home in nearby Venice for dinner. A good time was had by all.
This cat quilt was nice find in Naples.
