Santa Fe River, Ginnie Springs
Opening photo, padding out of Ginne Spring. One of 7 Springs in this private campground. I have never entered by land. Unti today. Retirement means weekday camping. I get to avoid the obnoxious weekend crowd. Water and electric site is $76.00 for two nights. With a senior discount.
As this was my first visit by land, I took a walk to figure out where things are. This is Dogwood Spring.
