Loren and Sharon invited us out to lunch at River Ratz Cafe in nearby Nobleton, FL. I know, how can you expect much with a name like River Ratz, but it was really good! We hit the place for a late lunch and it was quiet, but I suspect the place might be hoppin' late on a Friday or Saturday night.
Our waitress asked if we had been there before. Since we said "no" she brought out a complimentary fried appetizer platter - yum! Would it be awful to tell them "no" the next time we visit?
Heading home we decided to explore a back road to Hog Island deep in the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. There was a small, rather rustic campground a few miles down that road that felt like it was in the middle of nowhere. It appeared to be more of a tent or small camper type of park - I can't see taking our coach in there. Next, we followed signs to the Iron Bridge landing further into the refuge. There was not enough remaining iron to even hint that there was once a bridge there.
It seemed like we drove an hour down some very narrow road getting there, so it was good that the Withlacoochee River at least provided some peaceful, serene scenery for our pictures. We talked with some folks fishing who said we were actually pretty close to the main highway if we just went a little further. That was some highly appreciated info that saved us a lot of backtracking!
