Posted pictures in the General Thread of this morning's kayak trip on the Silver River…just a teaser. Can't wait to share "my river" with those coming to the gtg. If you've never been before plan to at least take a glass-bottom boat ride if you don't want to kayak.

[Birdie]

Loving "your River"! Keep having fun. Wish I could be two places at once!looking forward to more pics.

Vicki and Dave are Dutch Oven Gurus. This morning they cooked a pumpkin breakfast bake.







Yum!


Vicki and I went over to the Springs side.


There is a restaurant and ice cream shop open.


We took a Glass-bottom boat tour. You have a choice of 30 or 90 minutes. We chose the shorter one.


We saw one gator


An Indian dugout canoe...very old







Gar fish


And other fish

I truly think we need the recipe for the pumpkin bake! Pictures are great, thanks Liz! What's that big bird in the middle of the pic of the birds on a tree trunk?

That's a Cormorant, Sharon. And I agree, Vicki should post in the recipe section. That was yummy!
