Last‘s weekend’s trip was to Manatee Springs State Park up in
Chiefland. It was a little bit of a
drive, especially in Saturday’s rain, but well worth it. I believe this to be the most beautiful “old Florida” we have seen
yet. We met up with another couple there
and enjoyed a relaxing time with them.
There is a concession with a smoker down at the springs, so it was a no
brainer for dinner – ribs. We just
heated up some potatoes and beans and we were all set. They were so tender-don’t have long he cooked
them but there were perfect – no sauce, just like I like them.
We had a very spacious pull thru site (the only one they
have) which overlooked a pond.
There was a mama manatee with her calf just hanging out in
the springs. It was late in day and I
couldn’t get a picture to show since the trees were reflected off the water.
The springs meander out to the river
A boardwalk weaves through the the spring.
It comes out at the most beautiful spot there – the Suwannee River
and not a house in sight! Old Florida at it’s
best. Of course, that is the moment the
battery in my camera died.
Another trip is on order so I can rectify that!
