On our way south, we stopped at The Villages and had dinner with Dave and Gay. Their new home is lovely and we continue to be amazed at all there is to do in this adult community.
We arrived at Ortona Corp of Engineers Park and spent a restful and relaxing time there. This park is located right on the Caloosahatchee River and we always enjoy watching the boats moving through the locks.
Hank had spent time this summer building a bird house to replace the one behind our campsite here. Imagine our surprise when we saw that the old structure had already been replaced. We left Hank’s project with the rangers and they promised to install it somewhere else in the park.
We are always amazed and delighted by the variety of wildlife and birds we see at Ortona.
Most exciting of all, we had 2 separate sightings of a female Florida panther. We have seen panther crossing signs for years here and are thrilled to have finally seen one.
After our busy fall, this was the perfect beginning to our winter in the south.
