As I flew over north Florida Saturday I was looking at all the bodies of water, the rivers, streams, lakes, swampy areas- and I was wondering about the origins of all that water. So I'm wide awake and following along.Vicki Bennettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-22423415015640680282016-02-29T19:41:12.969-05:002016-02-29T19:41:12.969-05:00My Uncle grew up in Cross Creek and is now in his ...My Uncle grew up in Cross Creek and is now in his mid-80's. in the late 70's he took me canoeing on a beautiful stretch of the Oklawaha. I can't rembember if we put in, or were picked up at a place he called Eureka. It was a grand adventure with sightings of wild monkeys who were descended from those who escaped when they filmed the Tarzan movies at Silver Springs. He told me a lot about the barge canal project and how they fought against it. Thanks for sharing your posts. I always enjoy them.Leslie Townsendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-54575125711548625862016-02-29T14:52:35.877-05:002016-02-29T14:52:35.877-05:00Ooh, I'm excited and interested in this.

I was definitely wondering what it all looked like pre-dam days. <br /><br />Maybe one day it will be restored.

And it is a miserable place for naturey stuff, full of a bazillion big boats that churn up the sand until the water is soup. I don't like it much. A few people still live who remember the land and lament itthreecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-4564367204906484502016-02-28T10:56:09.611-05:002016-02-28T10:56:09.611-05:00I love reading this bit of recent history there.
