I think you should definitely do the Juniper springs run. Listen to Paula more than me. She's kayaked there much more than we have. Our one time trip surely was unusual. <br /><br />Remember your post last summer about those pink eggs? They look like the same to me, but the ones from last summer appeared to be on land?<br /><br />http://directionofourdreams.blogspot.com/2012/08/day-17-return-to-winnona.html<br /><br /><br />Glad to see Davids energy level seems to be much better!!!<br /><br />Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-3127874902908461992012-11-20T07:26:50.979-05:002012-11-20T07:26:50.979-05:00Sherry, I believe those are Apple Snail eggs.
