Nice little day trip off the Withlacoochee River near Inverness. Lots of recent downed trees midway. Lower portion nice, shady cypress swamp. Upper portion more open, nice trees, flowers, etc. I saw five Swallow-Tailed Kites lazily chasing each other. Took a swim in the head spring. There are actually several springs along the upper creek, big blue holes underwater. Incredibly I met an airboat coming downstream. He just “blew” himself over the downfalls. Otherwise I did not see anyone else except a big gator who “growled” at me. That got the adrenaline going! [Gallery]
