| It was 46 miles, an hour-and-a-quarter's drive from camp to Silver Springs State Park. We lost Donna and gained Joe and Lucy, so we had ten people in seven boats. We saw manatee, alligators, turtles, monkees, and a wide variety of beautiful birds. After the first mile or so from the boat-rental concession in the State Park we had the river to ourselves, because none of the punters set up shuttle to the Withlacoochie River take-out. We all had a very good, very inexpensive dinner at Highlands Restaurant in Inverness. |
