Wednesday, May 2nd - Manatee Hammock CG

After a quick stay at the Walmart in Live Oak, Florida, we drove on for another 4 hours to Titusville, Florida. We decided to take a slightly longer route and complete our I10 journey, following its full length all the way from L.A. to Jacksonville, Florida. We then headed south along I95 to Manatee Hammock Campground in Titusville, across the Indian River from the Kennedy Space Center from where Apollo 11 and the Space Shuttle were launched. I was excited to see one of those big rockets take off as one was scheduled for the next day. The campground is in a big grove of pine, palm, and oak trees with tons of squirrels running everywhere.

We walked out onto a grassy area which juts out into the river and onto a wooden pier to see if we could see any Manatees, but only saw schools of fish. They later told us that is was not the right time of year for Manatees and that's why we didn't see any.
