We set out this morning to hike part of the Florida Trail. The first part was along the road above the Suwannee River. We passed this interesting setup. Looks like family members or friends have built together. These park models are mounted on wooden poles, which puts them far above the usual flood stage of the river.
No joke! Boaters on the river are warned that if they go too fast, they may run into a large sturgeon that has leapt out of the water. Several people have actually been seriously injured this way on the Suwannee.
Speaking of flooding, the river is actually a couple of feet above flood stage right now. The lower section of this deck is under water.
It turned out to be too hot to hike, even though we started early, so we turned around after one mile and went back to our campsite. Tomorrow we plan to start even earlier!
We went to Cliff's Discount Grocery today. It recently opened in the old Suwannee Diner and still sports the lovely murals the restaurant owners commissioned.
We had another bang up storm today, and it's still raining now. For a while there was a tornado warning about thirty miles east of us. Maybe the tornadoes are following us?
