Sinks Road

This weekend was another adventure. Most everyone was camping down at Goose Pasture, and my boys (Ben, Diesel, & Daniel) were all in Arkansas on their annual Duck Hunt. I was busy Saturday, but Ashley and I made it down Saturday night for a little reunion fun.

Then Sunday it was off to the Races! (And Dead Man's Sink)

This is a sink hole right off of Sinks Road, I don't know if it has a name- but the parts that aren't strewn with trash sure are pretty!

There were 4 vehicles in our convoy- Dale & Janice in their cart, Duck & Ruby in their truck, Paul & Kim in their Jeep, and Mark, Debra, Sarah & Me in their Jeep. We looked like parade coming thorough the woods.

Our first stop, there is a little spring here, that's where the sitting water is from. Dark line on the trees?! Pretty sure that's where the water reached when everything was so flooded after Faye. The lines get lower on the trees the further you go up the hill...lending to our theory.

Here at the bottom of the picture is the spring. You can see it bubbling up, not strong but at continuously- enough to keep all that water on the ground.

The country version of Macy's day parade...

Once at the races, I wanted pictures of everything. This rock ledge has water sitting underneath it. There are little minnows in there, it's pretty cool.

Debra trying to get Pay to stay still long enough that she could get her pictures taken.

The races! This is where the Wacissa river (on the right) pours into the Aucilla river. When the Wacissa is lower I'm told it makes a mini waterfall. I wanted to swim in it SO bad...we may have to make another trip down this summer.

See that pretty round log there in the middle of the picture laid across the water?!

I thought I did, then I zoomed a bit and realized it wasn't a water-logged log, it's a really rounded rock! I bet that sucker is slippery as all get out.

This place is just gorgeous- and the sound of the water rushing is mesmerizing. All I could think (besides how pretty it was) is that it would be a great place for a nap!

Just flowers.

I love cypress trees...

They love each other, lol.

Sarah and her stick that she found...it was important at the time.

Haha- GOT HER!

Mark led us through this stuff...for nothing. There was nothing to see at the end...but we love him anyway...

X marks the spot!

Hunting for arrow heads in the field...

Taking pictures at Dead Man's Sink.

I love that silly palm tree.

Debra, chasing Pay, who was chasing Scratch...haha

Gorgeous

Still in the sink

Everyone on the "beach"

I crossed over to the other side, haha, but just for a bit.

Look at that huge root growing through the rock, that is commitment right there.

Something about this tree- I love that it is growing in two completely different ways- but when it comes down to it- it's all the same. haha.

L.W.C....who knows...but it's been there awhile!

Family portrait time! haha

"There is no key!!!"

This was SO much fun, never a dull moment off with this crew- and there is no where I'd rather be! Love ya'll!
