The water is beautiful. But I can't imagine being that close to that many people is much fun!


Thank you for looking
I was only there long enough to take the photos. The best part they were over 100yds from the spring and their boats could not make it up the spring branch. and they were still sleeping when I left 😀

Awhile back I posted a series on Blue Springs, the spring was muddy rather than blue.
Yesterday morning I rolled out of bed with out a thought of what to do, about 5:30 am the light bulb lit and I thought go to Grasshopper Hollow Natural Area, so I patted Murphy on the head and left him uncharge of the house and headed south, I missed my turn for my destination and continued on to Blue Springs, nice blue skies, puffy white clouds, Im glad I missed the turn!! not as many images as the first trip But these tell you how the spring got its name.
I left the spring and backtracked tp Grasshopper Hollow , I should have just headed home , the "road" into the hollow wasn't very good in fact had there been a place to turn around I would have let say I really should have 😖
The Grand Caravan wasn't built for this, I drove about 50% at not above 3rd gear out of sixth for nothing!!
The turn around at the bottom was sand and gravel , but I made it in and out without bottoming out or getting stuck.

The last time I was at Blue Spring, it was, as your photo shows, aptly named; however, it was possible to see the gravel bank on the opposite shore. That was probably late Fall in the early 1990s. What a difference a few years makes. Is it possible to visit the upper Current any time during the year and see no one else during a float from Aker's Ferry to Powdermill? Back then the river was overrun with people during the Summer, but uncrowded during the Fall.

Not a clue, I no longer float the rivers.
