Blue Spring State Park

On the St Johns River at 12:50
Paddled up the St Johns towards Snake Creek
Half a dozen manatees where feeding in the lily pads on the left bank.
Emergent vegetation on Snake Creek was too thick to paddle through.

Juniper Creek (Ocala)

After kayking the Silver River, Monday, I stopped at Juniper Springs for a snorkel. It was pleasantly uncrowded, and I thought, I should kayak the Creek tommorow. So I did.
Paid for $16.42 for a reverse shuttle to Juniper Wayside. So my car would be there when I finished. On the Creek at 9:30.
No orange bouys or downed trees blocking Fern Hammock Run, so I paddled up it.

Wekiva River and Rock Springs Run

Paddled more of the Weiva due to the blockage in the above photo on Rock Springs Run.
On the Wekiva from Wekiwa Springs State Park at 1:07. I went to Kelly Park first. Which, on a rainy Friday, was full.
