Blue Spring State Park

 Friday, July 14. Start of a trailer camping weekend at Blue Springs State Park. Rain as I arrived, so I was delayed in getting on, or in this case, in the water.

I was also delayed because Site 21 has a noticeable front to back slope.  Noticeable meaning, the Cool Camp could have rolled off the site if I was not careful.

The manatee was swimming down the Run, past the Diver/Tube entry.  A Park Ranger was on the platform.  I asked permission to get in the water. Granted.

In the kayak at 7:27

Manatee swirl

Landed at 8:20

Late night visit to the Run.  There is a path from the campground.
