This weekend was forcasted to be beautiful! I woke early listening to rain, rolled over and finally got up a couple hours later. It was wet and warming up. The radio had been broadcasting advertisements about two Pow Wows, one just up the road and one in Brooksville. It was a good excuse to finally visit the flea market here, and very close to home if the weather turned miserable.
The flea market was as impressive as the Pow Wow was not. Driving past the entrance on Highway 19 gives no indication at how big it really is! I looked in at the Pow Wow for a few minutes from the fenceline, then spent a couple hours wandering through the maze, checking out what the vendors had to offer!
The sun decided to show itself, warming things us nicely! Still too early to head home, yet late enough to stay close. The Werner Boyce Salt Springs State Park covers quite a fair amount of territory. The main entrance is an easy walk from the campground where I live, taking just a nibble at one edge of the park. Rosie and I had visited the Scenic Drive entrance last week.
Skye and I had taken a quick walk through one of the trails on Veteran's Day. Today, with my camera, I took more time, taking each of the open trails. The trail to the eagle viewing area was mostly closed, to keep from disturbing nesting birds. There is quite a nice picnic area by the kayak launch, and the Cauldron Springs trail offers nice views of the water as well.
The parks we visit have their own section by state under the section title "The Road to Oz". My photos are posted there. Each of the Salt Springs entrances has its own slide show. Sit back and enjoy!
