Pictures: Withlacoochee and Suwannee Rivers, WWALS Outing, 2014-09-21

Gretchen Quarterman took these pictures on the Withlacoochee and Suwannee paddle: springs, shoals, and pipeline 21 Sept 2014. This was a long outing Chris Mericle organized down two rivers with many people, past springs, shoald, and sinkholes, and past the crossings formerly proposed by Spectra Energy for its Sabal “Sinkhole” Trail fracked methane pipeline before it moved upstream on the Suwannee, as seen 2015-08-15 and 2015-11-15. It was also before we started the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail. Click on any small picture below to see a larger one.
