Video Experiment

Something new Blogger offers is the chance to add video to the blog. This is the first experiment with doing that and its obvious we need to work on it but this is our first try. The wind caused some problems and we need to learn to time our speech or description better, but I think its kind of neat that a little hand held camera can do this.

We are still at the locks here at Ortona and the weather has been beautiful. We have not used the boat as the snook fishing season is closed now and Lake Okeechobee is so low you cannot see the water from the rim. The rim canal has water as does the center of the lake (1' deep) with the navigable portions at 4'. We decided it wasn't worthwhile this year and will try next year assuming the rainy season fills it up somewhat.

We leave this beautiful spot on Saturday for Collier Seminole State Park right in the western part of the everglades. Will update after we are there.
