We had a wonderful tip to Florida. On the way home now. We had temperatures in the high 70's to low 80's while back home they had temperatures of -12.
Got to see Emerson Point Park with their nature trails and history. http://www.mymanatee.org/home/government/departments/parks-and-recreation/natural-resources/preserves/emerson-point.html. There are Indian mounds there created very long ago. For unknown reasons, the Indians would tear down their structures, burn them, then cover the ground with a layer of shells, then dirt, and rebuild their structures. Some of these shells are visible in the undergrowth. Hugh Conch shells. If caught removing them, it is a minimum 5 years in jail and a hefty fine.
Spent some time by the docks watching the Pelicans diving for fish and looking at boats.
On our trip back home, we have stopped in Savanna, Georgia for the night. Here we will plan tomorrows adventures and a place to spend the night. Heading back to the cold and snow.
