Come explore with me. I follow curiosity wherever it leads—through nature, history, wildlife, and unpredictable adventures.

I never know what’s around the next bend. Stories hide in unexpected places until we meet again on an uncharted path…

Downstream of Potter Creek, I passed abandoned houses on both banks of the Chaz. Weathered, broken docks, sagging porches, windows like empty eye sockets. Each house seemed to hold a story, waiting for someone to listen.

I tried to imagine them as they once were: a boat tied to the dock, voices drifting from a porch, a light coming on as evening settled over the river.

Now those dark windows watch the water. From my kayak, I found myself looking back—as though someone might still appear at the door.

Potter Spring—easy to miss… 🛶

The big pool is easy to spot. The spring vent? That took a closer look.

From the surface to the opening below—a little underwater discovery from my second trip exploring the Chaz. 💙

Ruth Spring—a crack worth paddling for… 🛶

A deep fissure in the limestone, tucked away off Potter Creek on the Chassahowitzka River. Seeing it beneath the surface was one of the most impressive moments of my second Chaz trip.

Just a quiet look underwater. Let the spring speak for itself. 💙

A familiar spot on the Chaz—but how often do we look beneath the surface? 🐟

The water hadn’t fully cleared yet during my second visit, but the number of fish was incredible. Look closely behind them—a cave opening comes into view.

Listen to the wind-like rumble: it’s the sound of water rushing out of the cave, captured by my underwater camera.

Four tiny seeps around The Crack—each feeding a little trickle into the spring run.
Were they always here? Two possibilities:
1️⃣ Always there, just unnoticed.
Higher water may have hidden them—or I simply overlooked them when the main spring was clear and visibly flowing during my summer 2024 visit.
2️⃣ New outlets after the 2024 hurricanes.
Could the main vent have become restricted, with groundwater finding other ways out through these smaller openings?
I don’t know which explanation fits—or whether these seeps connect to the main vent.
Have you seen them before fall 2024? Which possibility makes more sense to you?

I spotted this battered American flag after leaving Salt Creek—just a few strips of fabric still hanging on, out where the Chassahowitzka River opens wide.
The sun was getting low. My tracker already showed more than 8 miles, so Potter Creek would have to wait. I wanted to get back and load the kayaks before dark.
From Salt Creek, the boat ramp was only about a mile away without any side trips. My final total? 9+ miles. So much for a short paddle.🛶
Next trip: Potter Creek, then onward to Dog Island. There’s still so much of the Chaz to explore.

Salt Creek felt like a world of its own—more like a swamp with islands than a typical creek. Tea-colored channels, a spring-fed lagoon, and so many turns it was easy to lose my bearings.
I came looking for springs. I explored the pools and side channels, but never spotted an obvious spring vent.
Did I paddle right past them? Maybe. There’s something special about this place… and I’m coming back for another look. 🛶

The same spring. A shocking contrast.
I returned to The Crack on Florida’s Chassahowitzka River in fall 2026—and compared what I filmed with my footage from summer 2024.
Back then: crystal-clear water and a visibly flowing spring run. This time: cloudy blue water, long strands of algae around the opening, and barely any visible flow in the stream leaving the spring.
Both visits filmed by me, two years apart.
Have you seen The Crack like this? 💧

Same springs. A shocking contrast.

I returned to Seven Sisters on the Chassahowitzka River on October 12, 2026. Tea-colored water hid the limestone openings from above—but underwater, the springs were still there.

Then I opened my footage from summer 2024: crystal-clear water, visible limestone formations, and fish everywhere.

Both visits are filmed by me, above and below the surface. I’m sharing what I saw, without assuming what caused the difference.

Have you seen Seven Sisters in both conditions? 💧
