I realize my nature exploration is nearing an end, at least with the class, although I will continue to maintain this blog when I see something interesting. It is only fitting to end this with the discovery of The Fountain of Youth. Not the real one, of course, but the one at DeLeon Springs.
This was an advertising gimmeck used back in the 1880's to entice naive northerners to the park. Obviously, it worked, and the park becamse extremely popular, even boasting a "water-skiing elephant" at one time. No, I'm not kidding. I only wish I could have seen it. That would have made my day!!
