No I don’t have this disease but you sure see a lot of stupid humans who do! One of the more unique ways I’ve seen parks trying to send this message.

The pink lines on the sign show the 5+ mile long cave system from the catfish hotel.

This spring is the Catfish Hotel (named for the blind catfish that live at the bottom) 90ft deep & clear despite the plants growing on top. It’s a scuba diving attraction because of the cave system you can explore….no thanks!

This is Manatee Springs. The ripples in the water show the force of the springs.

It’s a beautiful blue/green colour.

One of the 7 non-poisonous water snakes we saw around the spring but none were in it. Still made going in a bit creepy!

Dave made it in first, there were a number of fish you could see, even without a mask and snorkel.

Water was cool but worth going in just to say I did.

Can you imagine this full of manatees

Our campsite, not on the river but we could still see it from our site.

The park had 2 docks for boats on the Suwanne River.

Park pool and hot tub area. Very clean and well maintained.

One of the ponds on the RV park property. Wonder what the sign on that platform in the middle of it say?

Apparently it’s Cuba and the gator is hoping to get there???
