Any grand ideas on a destination area? We will not sit for a week in one spot. Rather than destination people we are touring people. A couple of nights here, another couple there, etc. Sights, history, interesting and even quirky things and local eateries are our thing. Cities do very little for us. We rather have trees, rocks and a quaint stream for our entertainment. Appreciate any and all help.
All you have to do is go just a little further into North Central Florida where the springs are. Rainbow Springs, Silver Springs.
They are spectacular and there is plenty to see and do in this area, rivers to float down on, or kayak or canoe down, manatees to swim with, 3 State Parks close to each other, all in places steeped in history, within very short distances of each other, etc.
Start out with Dunnellon Rainbow Springs and River, stop at Silver Springs and then move on over to Crystal River and the springs there. You will see the most insane brighest blue, perfectly clear water you have ever seen.
IMHO, JMHO the best kept secret in Florida. :W
Oh, and don't forget to stop at Charlie's Restaurant in Crystal River on the waterfront. THE best seafood ever! :B
