On Saturday we traveled from Lake Marion in SC through Georgia and into Florida.  We arrived in late afternoon at Manatee Springs State Park, west of Gainesville.  The campground is not great, but an easy walk took us to the springs where, yes, we did see manatees. 

So nice to see outside in the 70-degree temperatures!  Ranger seemed to enjoy getting back into his camping routine, watching people come and go along the campground road and sniffing all sorts of new smells.

On our early morning walk, we saw quite a few deer and LOTS of vultures.
