Santa Fe and Silver River

2999
Not a bad place to leave the kayak overnight.  Gilchrist Blue Springs
Naked Springs




 Limestone
Morning walk




Time for a swim






Lots of turtles in Gilchrist Blue





In the kayak




Santa Fe River



One of the springs in the Ginnie Springs property.  There are seven, I think.





Another spring





And another







July Springs, across the river from Ginnie.












Back to Gilchrist Blue


I was fortunate to camp here.  The State has taken over the park, and greatly reduced the number of campsites.  No camping this close to springs.  Which is a good thing from an erosion, trash, and overuse standpoint.



Snorkeling Naked Spring







Red ludwiga








 This tree has since fallen into Naked Spring Run.  I left Gilchirst Blue, next stop, Silver Springs State Park























Cheeeseee!




























Monkeys!


















































Not a bad 3 and a quarter day weekend.
