Santa Fe River

 Ready to launch at Rum Springs Park

 Rum Spring

Santa Fe River

Run from Gilchrist Blue Spring

Gilchrist Blue is a private park.  $10 fee, so I have never snorkeled it.  But, I had read it was closed for 2 weeks over the holidays.  So, I paddled back down the run a bit.

Anchored the kayak, and swam back to the spring.

 Seeking shelter under the dive platform as it rained for a while

 Spring water meets river water

 Rapids ahead! Well, ripples over limestone

 One of the springs of the Ginnie Springs campground.

There  7,8,9 springs along the Ginnie Springs riverfront

Not a lot of  campers on a cool weekend

My underwater camera battery must have died  I did not snorkel after Blue, but there were lots of opportunities for hand in the water shots

I had turned around, and now was paddling up the Santa Fe

 Visiting the springs on the opposite bank from Ginnie, Devil, Dogwood, et al.

Lunch stop at Rum Island
