The two RV Gypsies entered The Environmental Discovery Center Building and enjoyed the displays. |

Below: Lots of activities set up for children to learn. Nobody was here on this date, possibly because of the Pandemic and not being able to touch and explore like they usually would. |

Although the two RV Gypsies came here for the suspension bridges (shown below) their favorite section indoors was the beautiful turtle. They have seen many turtles in their travels, but this one was so pretty, plus they have never been able to see the underside beauty of a turtle before. (Sometimes Karen just can't stop herself from taking too many photos of the same subject). |

Since the two RV Gypsies have seen many alligators in the wild, and have also canoed and kayaked near them, they were not particularly interested in the alligator on display, except that is was a very small baby alligator under a heat lamp. |

Then it was time for the reason that the two RV Gypsies came here. The tree-top canopy walk, even though they have done several others, longer, higher and bigger.
(
To see those, use the TOC button at the top of any page, choose the letter S, and scroll down to suspension bridges. There are 19 other ones listed there that the two RV Gypsies have experienced. ) |

A couple of the trees were green and caught the attention of the two RV Gypsies. Of course, this time of year, most trees do not have leaves anymore. |

Below: Leaving here, the two RV Gypsies came upon a road that was flooded. It was a narrow road and they were glad they were in a small car. Even so, Lee had to do quite a few "K" turns in order to be sure he was still on the road since both sides of the narrow road were also flooded. They hope this never happens to them when they are in their big RV and can not turn around. |
