March 21, 2015     Happy Spring!    Today is our last day before we head north.  What haven’t we done or seen yet?  We’ve already decided that there is too much, so we have to come back.  Today is just an extension of yesterday.

I always tell people the first thing we do when we get to a new State or National park is head to the Visitor Center.  Especially in National Parks, there is usually a film about “what’s happened and/or what’s happening”.   We did what we usually do here, but they tricked us.  The Visitor center here is the Gift/Book shop … no movie … they offered the self guided tour booklet (free) and the Ranger guided tour (free).   So we thought that was it.   Well,  I have been bugging David that I wanted to go to the museum (free).    Guess what’s there?   We see the movie and now I need to go back and take a few more photos.  I totally dissed the Battery Peninsula, because it’s just an ugly black wall.  Wrong, it is actually a fort within a fort and FULL of history.

Next we head back out in a new direction on the Florida National Scenic Trail.  I actually get photos of a Mom and Dad Osprey preparing a nest for their offspring.

Then we bring E T back to the RV.  It is getting hot and she does not do well in the heat of the day.  We head out on our bikes to explore some of the marsh area of the trail.

Next on our list is to walk to the farthest point west on the beach (Davids pick).

Next Stop Georgia  🙂
