Show me the manatees

Day 195
​Umatilla FL- Orange City FL

Manatees. We need to see them. We must see them. TECO manatee viewing center at Apollo Beach in Tampa was a bust. That old power plant had nothing but tourist trap souvenirs and up selling exhibits. Our move from the trusty campsite in Big Bass has brought us to Blue Springs Park in Orange City Florida in search of these sea mermaids. 

The space is small and it's a tight fit to get in. The unlevel ground is a challenge to park on. A sandy driveway makes for extra work in the house. I know we will be tramping mud through here on a regular basis for the next four days. The day grows late and we settle in for the night. Tomorrow we leave to see Orlando. Let's hope we run into some surprises then.
