Way down upon the Itchetucknee

These are pictures of the Ichetucknee Cemetery I literally stubled
across as I was walking through the woods, The scene was "Movie
Set Scary" I found graves from late 1800's to the 1970's The grave
from the late 1800's with the doll has got to be the most scary. I will
add the pictures of the river later as they were on a waterproof cam






I went to a beautiful and unique part of Florida last week, The Itchetucknee River, also near the Santa Fe, Moe Springs, and a bunch of other perfectly CLEAR, 73 degree, spring fed, peaceful, beautiful fresh water springs in that part of florida that one can launch in an inner tube, or any other Floaty of choice, and waft, lazily under oak-treed, Moss-canopied, otter-swiimin, wood-stork callin, cliff jumping beauty! Pick an hour or 5 to just unwind your mind and wathc perfectly happy fresh water mullet follow your tube for hours, its a wunderful thing, I love this place, it has SO many great stories to uncover! Fer instance: Naked Ed-This fellow is a local hero, with Beers, Books, AND Babies named after him, I am not sure about who owns the rights...this guy, Ed, had some sort of condition that led him to find a little shack by the river and he would just sit in from of his dock in chest deep water, (yes Naked, and remember, the water is CLEARER than air) and he was happy to dispense wise advice to those who might float by. Naked Ed is local treasure, and his beer is GREAT too! You can find it, and many other local stories at the "Great Outdoors Brewery"

There were some other adventures too, as I took a little look see into the woods from my Cabin I found The Scary overgrown middle of nowhere Itchetucknee Cemetary Graveyard See pics below!
