We arrived at our pristine campsite at Fort DeSoto Campground early Sunday afternoon. Fort DeSoto Campground is located in Pinellas County park on a key a few miles south of Tierra Verde, Florida. In addition to camping, the park has great facilities for boating, kayaking, fishing, a dog park, and several beautiful beaches with one beach that allows pets. Oh yea, there's also a couple old forts that were used in the early 1900's to guard the entrance to Tampa Bay.
We were impressed when we pulled into our pristine site #138 (in the pet section) and saw how level the sites were and all empty sites had been raked clean.

Can you identify this bird? I haven't a clue. I was thinking it's some kind of gull, but it has webbed feet.

The setting sun brings an end to a wonderful day exploring Fort DeSoto Park. There's plenty of things to do here and we probably won't get to do all of them in the four days we'll be here. But, we will start tomorrow with a ferry ride to the uninhabited Egmont Key.
