Saturday morning John suggested we go for a drive. We drove north, passing through Panama City to our destination of Econfina Creek.
There were boardwalks...
...and natural springs lined with maple, American Holly...
...and palm trees. There are two in this photo. One in the middle and one to the right.
Then, John found THE perfect place from which to launch a kayak. (Look carefully and you'll see those wheels spinning.)
I wasn't as eager to embrace our surroundings. I mean, come on, there were bugs, creepy crawlers, and sink holes. SINK holes - as in MORE than one. Thus the need for the boardwalks. Sheesh!
I feigned a smile as we continued to stroll along the trails.
I know John well enough to know we'll likely return with the kayak. There's no way he'll miss out on an opportunity to paddle down this river.
