Florida Forever: Ichetucknee River

So, after leaving Uncle Kevin’s, Aunt Maggie’s, Danny’s, Grace’s, and Annie’s, we decided to take a little detour to what we were told would be the best and greatest thing we would do the entire trip.  And we were not disappointed.  

Ichatucknee River.  Pristine really is the only word to describe it.  We rented two little tubes from Lowe’s Tube Rentals and, although thwarted in our efforts to go to the top, we still were able to do an hour ride down one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen.  (They close the top off after Labor Day.  We were two days late).  Turtles basking in the sun; us basking in it’s beauty.  It was simply glorious.

We didn’t take any pictures for obvious technical reasons due to water and computerized cameras.  And I’d say if we could post video, then you’d see what we are talking about, but there’s none of that either.  But below is a pretty good representational photo found somewhere on the interweb.

If you are ever in northern Florida, this is not to be missed!
