Wekiva Springs, used to outside Orlando, now swallowed up. Coldest damn water I ever swam in. Rock Springs, outside Apopka, when Apopka was a sleeply little nowhere, was the same. We had family picnics there after church in the summers, ride inner tubes down the river. Ah, yes. Florida used to be Paradise. If ever they should have closed a border...............harumph.

Sandra P. Campbell: I did a guided kayak tour in Apopka State Park in 2003 (I was traveling alone and was worried about alligators-LOL!)
Barbara, I've been gone so long, I didn't realize there IS an Apopka State Park!! Holy Cow. That used to be the back of beyond. That would be a good kayak trip, though. Not as lazy as an inner tube, but still...........😉

Rick springs was our hangout!
Lynn, I've got pictures of my mother and her high school buddies, swimming and diving out there in the mid-1940s! LOL
