there are hundreds
of Manatee’s
We took a trip to the West Coast Of Florida
To a power plant at Big Bend ( water power)
And in the cold weather –
it is a haven for hundreds of Manatee’s!
by the power plant
The water is also loaded with all types of fish!
The bay is calm –
the water warm from the power plant
multi million dollar
state park viewing area
and it is all free!
The park is run by the state park service.
The walk way extends hundreds of feet out into the bay.
There is also a tank where you can pet sting rays!
the observation platform
The bay is hundreds of feet across to the power plant
and full of Manatee’s!
You could watch them play
Jumping up and flipping over-
two or three together!
I have no idea how anyone could walk through the mangroves!
You could hardly see through them!
There also was a nature walk of one mile
out through the mangroves and marsh land
to a very high ( 72 steps) observation tower!
with Big Bend Power Plant
in the back ground
and the bay where
the Manatee’s were!
I felt the last twelve steps to the top! LOL
Thank you for reading Papa’s World
and the water and marsh
WHERE FRIENDS MEET THE FAMILY!
