No, we haven't been missing in action. The reception/WiFi is terrible here and only occasionally strong enough to get on-line. My eyes are finally starting to feel better. We have been walking and biking but most hiking trails are still underwater so we are sticking to the main roads. We did bike one path that seemed dry, and was for the first half mile. We pushed on through puddles and mud though. Denny was able to ride the whole thing but I have street tires and had to walk some of it. We both ended up with muddy pants and I had some very wet shoes. But, on the positive side, trying to ride through mud is a very aerobic exercise!

 There's a canopy walk here that is over a marsh. It is only 25 feet in the air but the 76 foot tower at one end allowed us to look over most of the palm trees for a panoramic view of the park. Of course, getting to the canopy walk also involved some puddles and mud!

Yesterday, we took an air boat ride on upper Myakka Lake. Although the lake was lovely, there was a dearth of wildlife because of the high water. We saw 3 alligators, a couple of herons, a few osprey and several cormorants. The boat captain suggested a nearby trail with a deck over the water at the end, would make a nice walk and highly recommended it. However, it is under a foot of water in places. He suggested taking off your shoes and wading. After his talk on alligators and snakes...I don't think so!
