I can even picture what the river looks like from a visit to Weeki Wachee back in the '90s. The cypress trees are beguiling, aren't they? It would be interesting to see if ANYONE ever gets a good photo of a manatee. It's hard enough to capture a dolphin as it jumps...let alone an underwater creature who rarely surfaces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-33700607129505004282010-03-24T11:34:23.184-07:002010-03-24T11:34:23.184-07:00We've read about wilder rivers, with few if an...We've read about wilder rivers, with few if any people and many alligators, but it was good to explore the Weeki with old hands who knew bends in the river from dead ends.P.

What an adventure! <br /><br />One of my grandson's favorite books is a National Geographic book for young explorers called 'Let's Explore a River.' It's about a trip down the Ichetucknee river in Florida which seems to offer similar vistas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-28727754621754539332010-03-23T12:40:43.986-07:002010-03-23T12:40:43.986-07:00Your day sounds idyllic.
