sweet looking coral specimens. I could take a nap in that natural spring right now. Nice find. Those huge coral heads are crazy and it still blows my mind that ancient sea shelf was once there. All we got around here is creeks with beer cans in them lol and old farm equipment. Oh and the colors on that wall is something I haven't seen yet from your tips. Cool blue color. I will say that Florida is strict a The oysters and the siderastrea coral spread out over the large area is telling of a giant shallow bay that sat on an old ocean floor that deposited enough diatoms and small carbonate particles to make limestone bedrock. soderasrea? carbonate particles? you nerd... Seriously though that's some cool stuff that is exposed for viewing pleasure. |

I am a nurd. To old and beat up to do the things I used to do. If I can't keep the body in shape I might as well try the brain. Hey, nurds get all the hotties these days...except me, and my wife keeps a tight reign,ha. Glad to let you down. Will do it again and just for you Brad bhiatt.  |

Im late to the party with this thread. Just read through it. Really enjoy reading these river coral trip reports. Im always envious when you guys get to collect unique material in unique ways that we dont get to do here locally.

I am envious of desert collecting. When I collect there I get dizzy, too many directions to cover. |

He works at the Forsyth Campus and Kathy works here at the Gainesville campus he saw some of our facebook posts! I saw that he posted on your album. He was a client for many years until he closed his nursery down. He is a character and a cool person. I need to visit his cabin up in Suches. He goes there a lot. |

Spent 50 years exploring 2 states and still have a long way to go. The more ground you cover the more you see how little you have seen. Darn digital cameras makes recording it a whole lot easier. |
