From the air what you can’t see from the ground: Sabal Trail through north Florida and south Georgia.
Driving down I-10, you wouldn’t know Sabal Trail was digging underneath you,g for example.
On Saturday October 22nd 2016, Southwings flew WWALS over more than 100 miles of the Sabal Trail route: Continue reading
Girl Scouts were a big part of our success today! Boy Scouts wanted to know if we had Eagle Scout projects: yes, we do! Thank you to our new friends.
People wanted to know about outings, advocacy, pipeline, and since Reed Bingham is on the Little River, I gave out all the pamphlets for the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail I had printed. An excellent time was had by WWALS and all at the Reed Bingham Trunk or Treat Fall Festival.

Pictures and a movie clip from the air (thanks, Southwings!)
of Mozell Spells, aka
Madison Highway Boat Ramp,
State Line Ramp (GA DNR) or GA 31 Ramp (SRWMD) or CR 145 Bridge Launch (FDEP).
This is one of two dozen public landings on the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail (WLRWT). It’s at the Georgia-Florida state line, and in the big picture (scroll down) you can see Continue reading
Does Sabal Trail think black bears can’t walk the short distance from 24th Street, Stagecoach Road, and US 90 to 199th Place?
What about those fox squirrels and indigo snakes?
Gopher tortoises are also more places than people might think.
And what about that sinkhole only about 200 feet from the pipeline at Pilgrim’s Pride on US 90? These two pictures were taken from the same place, looking in opposite directions:
Here are the pictures, from north to south. I actually started on Continue reading
Very dry, and this was a week ago Sunday, with a bit more than 23 feet on the Nobles Ferry USGS gage.
Surprisingly, the water’s not much lower now according to that gage.
Somebody asked us at Suwannee River Roots Revival: why is the Suwannee River so low? He was from the Atlantic coast of Florida, where they just had hurricanes, and didn’t realize: none of that rain fell upstream inland in Florida and Georgia up to the Okefenokee Swamp.

Update 2016-10-24: Questions filed with FERC in Docket CP15-17 as Accession Number 20161024-5049 and emailed to USACE and GA-EPD (PDF).
What is
that yellow thing in the river, Sabal Trail?
Is that a sinkhole you’ve marked at the Lowndes County HDD site?
And
does blue pipe mean thinner for rural areas like
your executive from Houston told us in WWALS v Sabal Trail & FDEP?
FERC gave you permission to Continue reading
Uphill and farther from the river: the new Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment plant (top left of center) seen next to the old one, the Pecan Row Landfill, and the Withlacoochee River.
Come ask your questions for the entire Suwannee River basin about wastewater and flood prevention this Thursday, October 27th 2016, at the Valdosta City Hall Annex.
The $60 million in fixes so far and those still in progress are a big improvement
for everybody downstream to the Gulf on the Withlacoochee, Alapaha, and Suwannee Rivers, and upstream on the
Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail. Continue reading
