Mecan Springs


Today Travalon, our Slow Food buddy, and I drove (in separate cars) to the middle of nowhere to take a very beautiful hike along the edge of a glacial basin with springs at the bottom. Here is a photo of a perfectly round little pond caused by a spring.


And here is a zoom in on it so you can see it a little better.


Here are a couple of shots from the top of the ridge on one side, looking toward the ridge on the other side.



When we got back to the trailhead, our buddy took this picture of us with the basin behind us.


Here is the same picture without us in it, so you can see the basin better.


And here we are! Trying to keep a proper social distance.


Then we went down to the boat landing at the bottom of the basin, and here are a couple of shots of the lake down there.



On the way home, Travalon and I stopped at the Rotary Club Park in Columbus. It has beautiful views of the Crawfish River.


It also has this mysterious, sad playground. The merry-go-round thing appears to be off of its axis and right in the middle of the swings, and we have no idea what the things are that look like some sort of molecular models. They don't turn.


Anyway, this was a fun vacation, if a little different than our planned one of taking the ferry to Grand Bahama and then riding a catamaran. Tomorrow it's back to work (from home) for me.
