LAKE LOUISA STATE PARK/FLORIDA

 North of us, on Hwy. 27, is Lake Louisa State Park.  I decided to go there one day when Joe went golfing. I was looking forward to seeing a few migrating birds, maybe an alligator or two.  Well, I drove through twice.  It's a nice park~I encountered some snowbirds that camp there, some for days, some for weeks, some for months.  There are some very nice cottages for rent, with a lake view. I walked out onto a pier/thought I'd see a gator/nope.  In fact, I saw a few vultures and that was it!  
What I did see was a sign, then another, then another...remember this song? 

                    Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs
                 Blockin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind
              Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?



Well, I read them and took pictures of them. 
I had Flat Stanley along/he wriggled his way in on the pictures. He's been doing that lately, most every place we go! 
Wildlife crossing?  How wild could the turtles be?

Posters of tracks that could be found in the park.  We didn't find any tracks/only signs.  See the anole on one of the posters? 

Typical Wisconsin sign.
I saw evidence of controlled burning in the park. Probably what this sign was put up for. 

Yup, alligators...didn't see any at this lake.
They are in there, I just didn't see them.
Horses?  There must be horseback riding in this park.

Hmmmm...not sure I want to go back to Wisconsin.
It's 84' at 10:38 a.m. ~ NICE!
