Note the high water marks from past years, and the river in the background
Starting off
The SBA paddlers begin
Limestone
Sharon in the spring
Limestone rocks separate the spring from the river
Edwin
Jennifer
Approaching the first suspension bridge in Florida
A simple and elegant two-lane bridge
The towers pivot for heavy loads
The way this tree grew around the trailer was pretty cool
We had the river to ourselves
This spring was pretty popular
Jennifer prepares for her first rope swing
She's in the air!
Heading out to the river
The source of the spring was deep down here
Getting ready to swim through to the larger pool
It's a short dive
Even Mick can do it
Sharon starting her dive
The hole wasn't far from the bigger pool
Diving in the pool requires a shallow dive
The redneck riviera?
Our boats
Evening on the Suwannee
The next morning
The River Camp has comfortable screened cabins with a ceiling fan and light and electric outlets, and full bath facilities
The eating pavilion. They even had grill tools!
Getting ready for Day 2
Roots and limestone
Another spring
Cold spring water rushing down to the warm river
An old train bridge
A minor spring on the side of the river
The tracks are gone, and trees are growing
The bridge rotated to accommodate the paddleboats that once plied the river
A tiny spring
More roots and limestone
A testament to the power this river sometimes has
One more spring, the water wasn't as cold as the others
Turtle
Rapids! (Or the lazy Suwanee's version)
River Cows!
