Salt Springs Run

A new location of Daves Yak Tales, but from a familiar place. The Ocala National Forest. I've written about Salt Springs before, visiting it after paddling the Silver River. Today, Saturday, September 20, 2008 I paddled from the Salt Springs Marina, just outside the Springs, 4.3 miles to Lake George, pictured above.

I have a report on the Green Wave Forum,

Here are a few more pictures.

Returning to Salt Springs Marina. I landed in a grassy area to the left of the building. Less grass the usual-Fay.

I can now add manatees to alligators, bald eagles, deer, monkeys and bear to what I've see yaking in and near the Ocala National Forest.

Hammock beyond a shell mound where I got out of the rain and had lunch.

Great egret and moorhen outside Salt Spring.
