It looks like the weather here near Tampa is going to be below normal over the next two weeks. They say it will be the coldest Christmas in years.
However it is still going to be a lot warmer then back in Cleveland. Originally my travel plans were to leave on the Thursday before Christmas. I’m sure glad I left early, looking at the weather projection picture for next Thursday.
On Friday I took a 25 mile bike ride from my camp to Brooksville on the Good Neighbor Trail. I did it peddling for 2 hours with a 1/2 hour lunch break at their train museum gazebo. I feel that my fitness is slowly coming back.
So after it warmed up a little I headed south on the Withlacoochee Bike Trail and did a little shopping. I looked for a put-in for the river near US50/98 but didn’t see anyplace. I biked down to Trilby and returned, it was another 22 mile bike ride.
The river here is very pretty and you can paddle upstream or downstream from our campsite but since I plan to leave early on Sunday morning for Lithia Springs near Tampa and will not take my kayak down to go paddling here. I hope to get a good campsite at Lithia Springs County Park. They don’t take reservations but usually have available sites on a Sunday morning.
Great to know that you are being so active and enjoying our Florida perks. Cold weather will have us gathering all our plants for shelter in the house. Grrrrrr…I hate these intermittent freezes! Stay warm, John!
Pretty picture. Good thing you left. They are forecasting bad weather
That is a beautiful picture. Framable.
