23 May Orlando to Lake Bryant, Ocola

Brad and Annie’s last day with us so we managed to fit in brunch at IHOP and a power shop before dropping them off at a hotel near the airport to get ready for winging their way back home.

We then headed north for a couple of hours to come to the Lake Bryant Campground.  We were the only overnighters there, their off season and just prior to major renovations.  Although there were some cabins which were inhabited.  

We now have much more opportunity to get off the Interstates and had a lovely drive through some country road.  There were signs warning of panthers crossing but even with eyes peeled didn’t see any, or bears, or foxes, or owls, which we are told are usually around at Lake Bryant.  Came across a tortoise on the other side of the two lane road but the ute in front of us did a U’y to go back and rescue it, warms the heart! 111 miles today.
