After a long drive (1 1/2 hours) to drive about 44 miles, we arrived at Honeymoon Island . One thing we learned in our exploration of this area: all the major highways run north/south. If you are traveling east/west, you're on minor roads with lots of traffic lights!
Once at the park, we walked the Osprey Trail on this barrier island and saw LOTS of ospreys!
It seemed that everywhere we looked there was another osprey or osprey nest!
From there we had lunch at the concession stand at the beach, then moved on to the dog beach:
Kelly, you would be surprised to hear that on this dog beach, one must keep dogs on their six-foot leashes. But it was a pleasant place to view willets and pelicans.
We returned to Hillsborough River State Park as the almost-full moon came up. We enjoyed another fine campfire in the high 50-degree temperatures. Perfect for sitting outside in the evening!
It's supposed to be warmer tonight, but rain moving in tomorrow. Better than the snow that is predicted for Montpelier VA!
