Carrabelle Beach RV Resort

It's 61 degrees out there right now (1:01 pm) and it's a clear day. We had a Pancake breakfast in the Clubhouse put on by one of the Campers here.
We have a full house today!  One or two vacancies.

I decided to take a walk around and share some pictures




You can see in this photo the Gulf on the other side of the trees












Daisy is the 2nd up up in the last row

Chris & Bob, these are the modular homes across the street


I also found a fellow camper who plays Rummikub, so I am off to find them and play a couple games

Wakulla Springs State Park Florida

Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, 465 Wakulla Park Drive, Wakulla Springs, FL  32327
(850) 561-7276  (Park is open 365 days a year, 8:00 am until sunset).

Wakulla Springs State Park is a 6,000-acre wildlife sanctuary quietly hidden in Spanish moss-draped Florida woodlands.  30 minutes from Tallahassee, the heart of the park is the world famous Wakulla Springs.  Cool water flows from the majestic springs to create the Wakulla River, one of the last pristine rivers in Florida.

Today we took a ride on their boat tour.  It's a 3 mile River Tour, and takes about 45 minutes to cruise on the river.  Here are some pictures I took.  I saw my first manatee, allegator and many birds.

Click on any picture to enlarge it for viewing. I had fun looking up these birds I saw.

3 Manatee's touching noses.  They look like "blobs" under the water, so even though I saw many today, I won't post any more pictures of them.

The dock where we launched our boat from.  Notice the trees.
