Hiking at Wekiwa Springs State Park

We headed out in mid-morning for a hike, trying to avoid the heat of the day.  We followed the Volksmarch Trail, a little over four miles, going through several different types of environment.  Much of the trail was similar to what is around the campground: Sandhill ecosystem with longleaf pines and wiregrass.

 There were also stretches that seemed more typical of Florida: lots of palmettos, some with Spanish moss hanging near.

We still haven't encountered any armadillos this trip, but we have seen several gopher tortoises.

By the time we got back to the RV for a late lunch, the temperature was back above 90, though with a steady breeze, it's not too bad outside.  I went for a swim at the springs again; then we both had good hot showers and went back to relaxing.  Tomorrow, Monday will be another fairly long day of travel, heading north and out of Florida.
