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
