Rock Springs Run


 I thought of carting the kayak down the boardwalk, then on the sidewalk, then down the hill to the kayak launch at Wekiwa Springs State Park, but I thought I would see more wildlife if I used the route the Park wants you to use.

I was right.

The sun was out, so there likely would be an alligator on the other side of this tree. 
There was.
