Lake Manatee and Gamble Plantation

[Bethers]

I'm at Lake Manatee State Park in FL for part of this week, and visited the Gamble Plantation - both on my blog: http://ontheroadwithbeth.com/blog/2011/ ... tate-park/

That house is gorgeous !! You are finding all kinds of places, I never thought were there all the many years I lived there. I'm doing the same thing up here, lived here for a number of years now and still so many places close by that I have not investigated. I really need to do that . Thanks Beth for posting, what an interesting trip you've had. I've enjoyed it so much. Have wondered how Peaches has allowed you to take so many bird pictures Maggie, thinks its her job to catch them

Best Wishes for a continued great trip,
CArol

great pictures Beth - been enjoying your blog about Florida - that's one of the states we haven't been to. You make it look very interesting.

Thanks, Beth. I too am continuing to enjoy your FL tours.

This park looks interesting as well if it is not too far out of your way when you head back toward Blue Cypress Lake

Sarah, that's one of tons of FL parks I won't get to this trip. But see, that leaves me that many more to try next time And one reason why I hoped the gtg would be at a park I hadn't been to - but certainly understand Liz doing it near home - and how well that worked for so many. But I like to get to the places I've never been - especially when there are sooooooooo many of them.

I have one more FL SP I'll visit before leaving the state - it's one of the most primitive (yes, it has electric and water, but the grounds, supposedly) which makes me think I'll love it. You'll find out about it after I spend time there
