Heading back North on Friday to Withlacoochee State Forest

The weather started out warm here near Tampa but then a cold dry spell came in. It was about 40o every morning but warmed to close to 60o by late in the afternoon.

Typical Trail near small lakes and wooded areas

I had nice sunny weather for biking on all the FishHawk Ranch trails. I biked over 75 miles over the last 12 days. 

I only got in one short kayak paddle on the Lower Alafia River.

Finally tomorrow I will get back on my original trip schedule, I will drive about 60 miles north to Cypress Glen campground on Silver Lake.

Pileated Woodpecker near my campsite

It sounded like that area was possibly more devastated than here, and the river is still on the high side. I haven't heard whether any parts are not passable. In the past 30 days the river flow has dropped from 2000 cfs to 550 cfs. The normal flow at this time of year is only 250 cfs.
