We are back at Sanlan RV Park in Lakeland Florida. It has been summer in March so far! Everything is lush and green even though Florida is still considered to be in a drought. It seems like a jungle after the desert of Tucson. Sanlan is very different from Voyager but we love both. One thing we like about this is it has a lot more elbow room. We have a huge site and have been enjoying the tent space and drying clothes outside. Most of all it is wonderful connecting again with friends. We have been busy!
It didn't take long for us to bike to Bartow, golf with friends, walk the trails and visit Circle Bar Reserve. Circle Bar was originally wetlands but was drained to become a cattle ranch and in 2000 was bought back by the county and converted to wetlands again. It is one of our favourite spots to view the amazing bird and wild life of the area and we can bike to it from here. I'm going to let the pictures do the talking for now.
