We traveled back to Savannah, GA to visit with my cousin Harper and pick up mom. After leaving Savannah, we got back on the road and visited High Springs Campground in Fl. We actually stayed one night there on our way to Savannah. The campground was nice enough to let us change our dates and come back a week later.
We were working to get back on track to our original travel plans so we only had 2 days here. The big adventure was Ginnie Springs. It is a series of natural springs that our 72 degrees year round! Even with the cold weather Florida was having the water was still 72! We read this but didn’t really believe it so we rented kayaks instead of doing tubes. We kayaks up and down the river and explored these springs. The Springs were the clearest water I have ever seen. There are a series of caves here too that if you are SCUBA certified you can dive and explore. We could actually see the entrance to a cave from the surface of the water in our kayak was that 15 ft deep. We saw tons of turtles chilling on logs while we were paddling. After kayaking, we were all pretty wet so Eli and I went swimming anyways! The water really is 72 and with cold air it felt nice! Florida has a bunch of these natural springs that are all equally beautiful and are not the typical beaches you think about when you visit Florida. We all thought this was one of our coolest experiences so far on the trip because it was so unique!
That night we went into the town and got food at a pizza/ Philly cheesesteak place that was really good, I ate 5 slices! We walked around and found a cool ice cream shoppe that we went to and it was great 👍. My overall rating was a 8/10, pretty good ice cream.
Next stop harvest host boondocking at a car museum in Tallahassee!
