Rainbow Springs

A few miles down the road from Paynes Prairie (just south of Gainesville....enemy territory) is Rainbow Springs. It's about 14 miles southwest of Ocala. Here's where you can really get into the water sports big time. People scuba in the Rainbow River to see fish even though the water is so clear you can see all the fish you want from the shore. They also tube down the river beginning the middle of March when the weather is supposed to be really warm. Once again, the river is was warm and the springs stay at 72 degrees year round. It really is a pretty park and we enjoyed the totally renovated campground: hugh gravel sites, new restrooms, washer and dryer, electric, water and sewer.
We left there this morning, Sat. Feb 15th and are now in Lakeland, FL. We'll be here a week to explore and visit friends from WI (Don and Cathy Becker).
