Moving up from Ft. Myers, we found this State Park just east of Sarasota. We wanted to visit Sarasota, but we spent a lot of time in this nice park. Again, this is a swampy wildlife area. We took an airboat tour and a tram tour. I suppose this is a ‘hammock’, but the old oak trees are spectacular. There was a walkway in the treetops between two towers. Couldn’t see much from there, but the second tower was higher than the trees and offered a spectacular view. We debated about kayaking in this little river, but ML was scared that an alligator would take a bite out of our inflatable kayak. We struggled with this idea long enough until it started to rain and settled the issue. There is a viewing platform at the end of a dam and several alligators were lurking around. That didn’t bother a Viet Namese couple who were netting Talapia. These fish are considered harmful to the ecosystem so removing them from this water is encouraged. They said they gave these fish away, so we took a couple and had them for dinner. Tomorrow we move on. Stay tuned.
