Day 4: Micanopy FL to Myakka River State Park


We awoke to 39 degrees, pretty cold for Florida!  However, our drive down I-75 today ended up at Myakka River State Park, near Sarasota, and this afternoon it's 70 degrees.  Lovely!  

We have camped here three times before, so we can find our way around easily.  Having arrived in early afternoon, we had time to walk up to Upper Myakka Lake for some birdwatching.  In just a short visit, we saw great blue and little blue herons, tricolored herons, glossy and white ibises.  

I took a bike ride up along the lake while Dan and Ranger rested.  Late this afternoon the clouds have been moving in, and there's rain in the forecast overnight and through tomorrow.
