4 February 2019 Manatee State Park

This was another park return for us.  There was a new series of caches placed in the area we had previously visited and a caches waiting to be found in an area where we had not visited.  The day offered a chance for some warm hiking while looking for wildlife and finding caches.

We are always hopeful of spotting a gopher tortoise.  This one was at the edge of a picnic area near the edge of the lake.

It's not unusual to find geocaching containers which have been through burns.  The outsides are typically rusting from lost paint while the contents have melted into an unrecognizable mass,

Palm warblers were abundant throughout our park visit.

It was a fine return for a perfect day on the trail.
