Dry Swamp Finally
The green swamp of Western Florida, near Tampa, feeds a large Florida aquifer, providing life-giving H2O. Thus, I was startled, and also please, when the first several miles of the Florida trail through this lovely terrain was completely dry. The Withlacoochee River was only moist as I crossed its three bridges along on the old tram way. One pool was murky green. It stood silently in the mid-day afternoon sun, subtlety a normally muddy sloppy, paradise which was now barren. Then typically, without warning the rain started to fall heavy. What will tomorrow bring as I trek along America’s most interesting trail?
