No swim in Convict Spring. I had the longest paddle of the Suwanee Sojourn ahead of me. 16 miles to Branford. Where I would meet the shuttle driver from the Suwannee Canoe Outpost at 6 PM.
Loaded and launched at 8 AM
Landed at Royal Spring.
Back on the Suwannee
Suwannee Blue Spring
This is just the outflow. To see the spring, one has to land, and trespass. I declined, having a long way to go. And, more springs to see.
The sign states this is Amen Spring
Mearson Spring.
Troy Springs
Ruins of the Madison. A scuttled Confederate ship.
This is only the third time I have kayaked here. The other two, the floating dock, was,
Landing for Ruth Springs. Leads to a trail to the Springs. I did not land.
Ruth Springs Run, above.
Landed at Little River Springs
Green heron
Landed at Patrician Oaks. This is as far as I have been before. I used the time it took me to get here for my 6PM guesstimate for my arrival at Branford, 3 miles down River
It was only 2PM. I called the Canoe Outpost and revised my pickup time.
Limpkin
Landed at 3:30
Ivey Spring, at the boat ramp in Branford.
Suwannee County Courthouse, Live Oak, Florida.
Back to where I started, 6 days ago.
The Music Park was packed. For the Suwannee Roots Revival. Sam Bush, Del McCoury, and dozens more, over the weekend.
