Old cracker food. Swamp cabbage in cold spring water. Delicious with onions and potatoes. Was thinning palm trees. This is the growing tip. Neighbors came and got their share.  |

View to the north, outflow of St John's River to the left just above cattails. 7-9 miles to other shore. Drayton Island in center. Big water, none of it over 10 feet deep causing storms to turn lake violent in a minute. Waist deep 2000 feet out in this direction. An old point washed away over thousands of years. Bottom loaded with artifacts.  |

Payne's Prairie. Dusk. Typical tank sinking sugar sand roads, 4WD mandatory. Dry season has the prairie reduced from 3000 acres of water to 200 acres. Fishing great in 200 acre wet areas, all sinks 100 to 800 feet in diameter. Gator density greatly increased at water holes. Walking thru 4 foot grass keeping eyes open  Typical sink  |

Cool pictures, thanks for posting them!
What were you doing at Paynes Prairie, going to check on your coral river?
She must really like his tractor.
Outhouse sans house!

Just a couple of miles west of my camp. The sink holes out in the prairie are often rarely visited. Some very deep. Hard to get to and fishing is great if you can get thru the scrub. Salt Springs boils up out of ground across top flowing 5 miles to right(easterly) making the river that enters L George. Lake Kerr upper left corner. The upity people live there. Gator tail eaters/mullet smokers/proud white trash live on L George. The cove it flows into hold a lot of salt water creatures.   |

Lounging lizards ready to rumble. Are these basilisk lizards? I'm going by the top crest on their heads, I usually see them as green. |
