As reported in our recent blog entry, we are currently in Salt Springs, Florida, and today we are pleased to share some photos we've accumulated as we explore the area.
The first photos you will see were taken just near the edge of the campground at the Salt Springs where the water is a constant 72 degrees. There is a very nicely constructed retaining wall and walkway that surrounds the area where the springs rise to the surface and while you would not know it from these photos, the waters are filled with people escaping the heat at other times of the year.
The next series of pictures begins with a shot of Deb and our neighbors at the RV park, Susan and Janet, along with Captain Erika aboard a pontoon boat as we begin a tour of a section of the Ocklawaha River that is located about 12 miles away from Salt Springs. In a future blog, I hope to pass along some information that Erika shared with us about the history of the area, but for now, we hope you enjoy seeing some of the sites along the tour, including the birds, turtles and 'gators. Just in case you are wondering about the last shot; we were too slow with the camera to capture a mother and two baby Black Bears that crossed the road in front of us as we were on the return trip from the river.
