While in the panhandle of Florida we discovered that we were not far from another Florida State Park.  So we decided to take a ride to check it out.

When we got there we did not see anything much to look out.  We found out that this park was a result of multiple sinkholes.  We previously saw the great big sinkhole at the National Corvette Museum in Greenville, Kentucky.  This kind of made me nervous knowing that I was close to multiple ones.  But we had nothing to worry about, they have been there for years and no one was in danger.  The Florida government would not have made it a state park if it was something dangerous.  Whew, rational thought finally reasserted itself.

The sinkholes were a ways down on a trail, so once again I was hiking along the board walks.  Everyone who knows me knows that it is difficult for me to walk any distance.  I was hoping that the falling water was close by.  We passed some sinkholes without water and were overgrown so I know that the episode that caused these happened a long time ago.  Here are the pictures that I took of them.

As we wandered farther down the trail we finally reached the Falling Water.  What, you really call that falling water.  There was just a trickle of water over the lip of the sinkhole which was disappointing as I really like waterfalls and was expecting one.  Oh well, I am sure that other times of the year there is more water there.  However, the interesting part of the hole itself and the fact that they have never discovered where the water actually goes.  This is the highest waterfall in the state of Florida and is 73 feet down to the bottom of the sinkhole.  The round hole was really interesting.

Well, now that I have survived my adventure with the sinkholes I am on the way to the state of Alabama to enjoy more beautiful beaches.  Talk soon.
