Wekiva River and Rock Springs Run

Tuesday, February 3, 2009. No photos. I grabbed the wrong camera, the one that joined me in Juniper Creek several months ago. I was in the water about 2:20, paddled down the Wekiva a bit past the Indian/party mound, up the Wekiva, up Rock Springs Run just short of the three mile mark, returning to Wekiwa Springs State Park about 5:45.

Four canoes and kayaks on the way down the Wekiva, that was it. Cool, high fifties, low sixties. No deer for the first time since October 15. One alligator, one otter, several raccoons, green, blue, tri colored, great blue herons, great and snowy egrets, belted kingfishers, anhinga, limpkin, ibis, turkeys, turtles.

At the Wekiva Marina, the building that housed Alexander's Restaurant is being repaired. What,a dozen years after the fire they got the insurance check ? I wonder what is going in the building. A new restaurant ? My Spanish isn't good enough to ask the workers.
