Salt Springs to the Caloosahatchee river

We like to stop at Salt Spring in the Ocala National forest because it's a has a great campground and it's a good place to rest up before continuing on to southern Fl. There are large natural springs here that emit large volumes of 72 degree fresh water all year around, the snorkelers below are floating over one of the gushing springs, one guy was trying to dive in one of the spring holes but the flow was so fast he couldn't stay down. The fish below are near one of the springs, the bigger one is a mullet who is a vegetarian and it is eating the alge off of the rock.

This is our place on the Caloosahatchee river. Lots of birds, jumping fish, an a few alligators. Haven't done a lot of exciting things, bicycling, walking, reading, soaking up the nice weather and bs'ing with the neighbors. Had a wild cocktail party last night with our next door neighbors from NC, Pat had a glass of water, Sam and Nita a small glass of wine and half a beer for me, oh, and some chips and nuts, ok, not too wild but enjoyable. Tomorrow we are going in to Ft Myers to look around and have a fresh mahi mahi sandwich for lunch at a restaurant recommend by Sam and Pat.
