Another person, another boat, different timing and, well it just wouldn't have been the same. The wood duck is a wonder to behold and I always look forward to that next glimpse.

I'll bet David wishes he had gone with you.<br /><br />I know how you feel about Crystal River, but I really think you would love Three Sisters Springs. Its similar to what you described here. You go into a narrow little channel which opens up to a big surprise with beautiful "rooms" of clear swimming pool blue waters. If you go after manatee season, you might be the only one in the rooms.<br /><br />Another place I thought of from this post was Juniper Springs. I don't know if you've paddled it yet, but you should. I think you'd love it. <br /><br />Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-24606750684486977832014-03-13T08:36:07.025-04:002014-03-13T08:36:07.025-04:00Even better pictures of the wood duck- love it!Even better pictures of the wood duck- love it!Catherine, Jo Beth and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889362286725037937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-78346401025646124392014-03-13T08:08:23.734-04:002014-03-13T08:08:23.734-04:00Another great paddle, always love to explore the l...Another great paddle, always love to explore the less traveled ways.

One, never put anything anywhere except in your boat or in your car, never on the ground or on your car. Rule two, follow rule one to the tee..
