A foggy start on the Oklawaha River. I launched closer to Cannon Springs than I had in December.
Spring?
Run to Cannon Spring
Into my Spring

As I write this in August, the Ocklawaha is high again, springs inundated for 3-4 years. A dam
shame.
A bit of a rough road from the launch
Well maintained National Forest road
Davenport was a steamboat stop on the Ocklawaha.
Took a walk on a trail. There about 3 primitive campsites at the Landing.
Stop at a boat ramp on my way to the Rodman Dam.
Plant control also is the reason for the drawdown.

They should have a kiosk mourning the lost springs, like Cannon.
Fire! Crews were on hand. A controlled burn.

Ok, my birding friends, what is this?
I have passed this place on Highway 19 a million times. Stopped this trip. I will not stop again.
Too much red neck, right wing, propaganda on the walls. Why a business would chose to alienate over half the population is beyond me.
Other than that and thinking I will not be able to see Cannon Springs for 3 years, it was a great day.
