Pictures from the last post in July

I truly think that someone could make a bunch of money educating us gray hairs about the latest electronic (unneeded) changes that don't improve the system much.  My computer won't recognize either smart (dumb) phone still.  I figured out how to email the pictures and save them into my computer...………………….

Beautiful Gilchrist Blue Springs within a few miles from our property.  Note the deeper blue water in the center of the springs.  This is where this fresh pure river sized spring comes from the ground at a constant refreshing 76 degrees.  The depth in that area is about 12 feet.

A most refreshing picnic spot under a huge tree outside of the Lake City VA Hospital in Florida.  The multiple layers of leaves that this tree provides cuts the summer heat from the Florida sunshine and any small breeze enhances the moment.

Another fresh water spring with the refreshing 72 degree constant temperature flowing into the Santa Fe river at the Ellie May's RV resort.  This water is much cooler than the sun fueled swimming pool at the resort without kids yelling and chlorine.  Most pleasant swimming.

Kate and the land yacht at Ellie Rays RV resort.  Note the awning is deflecting the sunshine sparing the air conditioner extra efforts.  Note also the ramp for Bruno.  He isn't climbing stairs like he used to.  On the table is this year's summer garden.  A pot containing a basil plant.

The resort docks along the Santa Fe river at Ellie Ray's RV resort where we camped for the 4th of July.  This navigable  river comes 100% from freshwater springs from northern Florida such as Ichetucknee.  A lot of the springs and short outlet rivers have been turned into state parks.

This is one picture from the Land Yacht that shows the devastation from the category 5 hurricane Michael nearly one year after the fact.  Note the former foundations near the road and the broken trees.  Also note the former pilings for the boat docks in the distance.

This clearly depicts the visibility from the Land Yacht during a major down pour.  This is why we pull over when we can and wait it out.  You only want to move your house when you can clearly see just where you are going.


This is a picture from Vortex Springs RV and recreation area west of Tallahassee, FL.  If you look closely beyond the RV you can see the big slide into the springs.  This is where I was able to dive a fresh springs.
