Silver River

Began the day at Silver Glen Springs. It was 37 degrees as I drove, 40 when I arrived and entered the Spring.

There was one manatee in the area.
Drove to Ray's Wayside and was on the Silver River just before 10.

Lake Underhill

Lake Underhill is 3 miles east of Downtown Orlando, bisected by the 408 Toll Road. Or as us old timers call it, the East West Expressway. I had never paddled it. I was nearby, getting an eye exam, so I paddled it.
On the water from Lake Underhill Park at 11:50.

This was a windy, urban paddle. Toll Road and airport. Orlando Executive.

Coot and glossy ibis
F-4 at Joe Kittinger Park. The Orlando native flew them in Vietnam. He is better known for jumping out of a ballon in the stratosphere in 1960. It was the longest free fall for half a century.
Downtown Orlando
Landed at 1:50. Just an hour on the water.
Went for a bike ride. A path goes from Lake Underhill Park to Colonial Drive.
Passes Orlando Executive Airport.
The bike path is on the south shore of Lake Underhill. On the north, a promanade attached to the toll road. Bike riding is not allowed.
3 picture looking towards Downtown as I ate lunch.
