Jan 19 Old Town, FL

Started our trek northward. Checked into Yellowjacket RV Resort at Old Town situated along the banks of the Suwannee River and adjacent to a big wildlife preserve. We were so tall that the owner came out and cut away branches so we could get parked. They have 3 man-made fishing ponds, which are home to some alligators, including "Castro" a three-legged specimen. The river is spring fed so the manatees come by (in warmer weather, of course) but is really brown from the tanic acid coming out of the cypress roots so is difficult to see anything in it. Apparently, there are colossal sturgeon here. They had a pool (unheated) and a very welcome hot tub under the clear star-filled sky, as well as cable TV - rare bonuses in this state.
