28 December 2013 Saturday - Seminole FL
While hiking in Juneau last summer, I met some folks from Florida who were staying at my friend's B&B....and found that they live just a few blocks from my mother! So Kim and I connected and hiked at Brooker Creek Preserve in Tarpon Springs today....then took the slow road back via the historic Sponge Docks and the coast and stopped at Friendly's Tavern for fish lunch.

Stopped at Lake Wales for visit to Spook Hill and Bok Tower then short visit to Alafia State Park which has no trees so continued on to Little Manatee River....and a frog/toad gave me a fright when what I thought was a bar of soap in the tray in the shower was not a bar of soap when it jumped out at me!
