Chasshowitzka




Chasshowitzka

Today is Sunday, January 10th. It’s COLD in Lithia Springs Florida. 28 degrees when I awoke this morning. Both heaters have been called into duty. We moved down from Chassahowitzka Wildlife Refuge Campground just south of Homosassa Springs yesterday and it’s a good thing we have because the temperatures there are in the teens this morning!

While camped in Chassawowitzka we revisited Homosassa Wildlife Park, found the ruins of the 1850 Yulee Sugar Mill, visited with friends whom I went to high school with, got the canoe off the roof of the Jeep and canoed/motored almost out to the Gulf on the warmest day of the week and on Friday, the coldest day of the week, finally got to go see the famous mermaids and see their shows at Weeki Wachee State Park. In Homosassa we ate at Riverview Seafood Café which was right ON the water and overlooked Monkey Island which was the home to 6 monkeys.
