A rest day at Wakulla Springs. An interesting place. Known for its crystal clear spring fed lake. There are under water caverns. Dinosaur bones discovered here. Movies have been filmed here including Tarzan and Airplane 1976. The lake is full of alligators, turtles and fish. Birds abound in the woods surrounding the lake. It poured rain on Sunday morning. It was so nice to wake up to the sound of rain and thunder and know we did not need to go anywhere.
A special note of interest to my parents and siblings, Edward Ball a plilanthropist and successful businessman, whose name was everywhere and who had the lodge built was a married to to Alfred I. Dupont's sister. We grew up on a farm we rented from the Alred I. Dupont Estate. Small world!
