Coldwater Creek

The day began with a walk. Beginning at our lodging, the School House Inn. Which was built in the 1920's. It was moved to its current site at Adventures Unlimited, near Milton, Florida.

Sepulga River

We received a report from Holley D. that the Sepulga River in Alabama was low, clear, and beautiful. So the Adventures in Florida crew had an adventure in Alabama

Put in at the Bull Slough Bridge

Choctawhatchee River

A good start to a good paddle is a dirt road and one lane wooden bridges to the launch site.

On the water, at Morrison Springs, at 11 AM

St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge

On the Gulf in the Refuge at 1:40. The start of a week in the Panhandle. I was asked to help guide a group in the Blackwater River State Forest for Adventures in Florida. Of course I said yes.

Santa Fe River

On the water at 9 am. My campsite was on a trail to the boat ramp

Kayaked up the Santa Fe

July Springs. Across the River from Ginnie Springs

Ichetucknee River

On the River, from Dampiers Landing, at 10:19. The south takeout, where I usually launch, Midpoint Landing, and the North end launch, are all closed due to hurricane damage

Work has been done to clear the Ich

Midpoint Landing

Santa Fe River, Ginnie Springs

Opening photo, padding out of Ginne Spring. One of 7 Springs in this private campground. I have never entered by land. Unti today. Retirement means weekday camping. I get to avoid the obnoxious weekend crowd.

Water and electric site is $76.00 for two nights. With a senior discount.

As this was my first visit by land, I took a walk to figure out where things are. This is Dogwood Spring.
