The sky was blue, nary a single cloud in it! Lots of small birds were flying back and forth. Few campers had already left early.
After breakfast and packing our lunch we left to visit historic Dunnellon. There was not much to see or do in the town, so we just cruised on by.
We decided to visit Inglis and Yankeetown. Again, there was not much to see or do. There is a nice looking campground, so we pulled in to get information and to look around. We won’t mind camping there. It is far from the civilization, but sometimes that is what we need to just stay put and relax.
We also checked out another campground, Elmer Oaks. Too crowded and unkept. RVs were parked too close to each other that you could almost touch the RV next to you!
Next trip was to get on Fort Island Road. There is a beach at the end of the road. There are two fishing piers. We visited this place years ago. We went to the fishing pier and there were few anglers. The water was little shallow. In the distance, north of here, you can see the electric plant. We did not stop to walk on the beach.

On our way back fro the beach Edith decided to pull into a parking lot at Shrimp Island Seafood place. There are some old fishing vessels at the dock and Edith wanted to get pictures. Most of them were way beyond repairs, but still operable. Pelicans were swimming by the fish cleaning station, hoping to get bits of the discarded fish.

We went to the town of Crystal River to check out some attractions. We wanted to check out Crystal River Kings Bay to see if there were manatees out there, but the parking fee was $5, so we turned around and left.
