Rock Springs Run
While home in Florida I squeezed in time for some boating with Meg - it was great. We did the Rock Springs Run, which is a tributary spring of the Wekiva River, which starts at Wekiva Springs. It's a gorgeous chunk of Old Florida, a total jungle, just 30 miles from Orlando. Highlights:
- The gorgeous scenery and perfect weather, natch.
- Our canoe, which was emblazoned with LIONS.
- The sound of countless sunning turtles plopping into the water as we passed.
- Spotting a few baby alligators just a few yards from our boat, and, a few seconds later, their 6-foot mama, whose eyeball was trained on us the entire time.
- Working our way through half a bottle of Wild Turkey by the light of a flashlight , and, later, the moon.
- Great, long, thoughtful, rambling conversations.. both before, during, and after the Wild Turkey.
There's lots of pictures, too.
