Vacation in Central Florida

We loaded up the jet skis and set off for Central Florida on vacation this past week. It was an incredible week. Highlights include: Passing through the locks in the Harris Chain, hopping downed trees in the Ocklawaha river, jet skiing three Florida Natural Springs, staying at the charming Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora, finding beaches and bars in the middle of "nowhere", being told by a park ranger "you can't get there from here" but after he thought about it he decided we could if we crossed the street to launch on the opposite side of the lock, the Dora Canal with birds standing everywhere and finally getting to the St. Johns River.
