863 November 29, 2022 Back To South Bay

I walked three one mile loops around Monument Lake this morning.  The air felt just a little cool.  It was wonderful walking weather.  I saw flocks of migrating wood storks and three roseate spoonbills.  I saw another black snake and I saw a little gator.

Killdeer.

Brazilian peppertree.

We traveled for just a couple of hours to South Bay RV Park on Lake Okeechobee.  We stayed here for a week back in October and it is another good place for bike riding.

As we entered South Bay, we saw a long line of tractor trailer trucks stuffed with sugar cane.  It is harvest time.  Some of the fields were being burned today and the world smelled of burnt sugar or caramel.  They must also be spreading manure because we also had pungent wafts of really stinky air!

We took a short ride to on the Levee to Torry Island.

We climbed the tower.

This evening, we took our dinner to John Stretch Park.  It was a nice to walk around the lake after our meal.
