| Peggy hiking on the Florida Trail |
Bill Miller & Cathy Needham spent 3 days with us at Silver Lake. We hiked the trails and biked on the Withlacoochee State Trail, a 46 mi long, 12’ wide, paved bike trail.
It was cool every morning but pleasantly warm by the afternoon.
I was able to paddle my kayak a few times but the river was very low due to the drought conditions. So I just paddled a few miles upstream and downstream of our camp.
In all we spent 10 days here.
Bill & Cathy needed to head back North so that they could be back in Cleveland in about a week.
Peggy & I drove a little further South to Lithia Springs County Park on the Alafia River.
We got the same campsite right on the river that we had camped at the last few times that we camped here.

This river was also very low so I just paddled downstream from our camp on the Alafia River past the springs until it became too shallow to easily paddle then paddled back upstream.

I had a nice rest in my hammock when I returned.
We went for a bike ride on Monday through FishHawk Ranch which is a housing development with over 25 miles of concrete bike trails, that weave through the community connecting parks, houses and shopping centers. We did some grocery shopping, and then headed back to camp. In all we pedaled 14 mi. on the sunny and breezy 70
o day.
