A Dip in the Springs
| Robin Romaine, who lives in Fort White, says:
“You can’t regularly swim in the headspring without having a spiritual awakening.”
A Dip in the Springs
Mornings during weekdays, now that’s the time to go!
My state park pass is all I need to show.
It’s very magical to be the only one there.
For I am an Ichetucknee Millionare.
Bright translucent blue our limestone will create.
Fish dart about like underwater birds, there’s turtles and a snake.
These ancient cold clear waters we hold so dear.
A sensory pleasure, this treasure of living here.
