It was so nice to be outside. I was getting cabin fever real bad.

Nice day.. 50 deg and the trails were not too muddy.. Did 7 miles and had a nice lunch with a Red Tail Hawk in the tree above me.. Also a flock of ducks on the creek below me.. All in all a GREAT day to be on a "Woods Wander" !!!

Thanks John! Natural springs that we grew up floating down on the current river. Water is ice cold. Takes a while to get used to. Of course we float it on inner tubes in the summer months! Water comes barreling out of the springs! So many colors of blue it's hard to describe!

Thanks for taking us along John. Wonderful lunch guest.

woodwalker amazing photo's. Are you near Roaring River State park there in Mo?

[Waukonda]

Great outing, John!

WoodWalker, I will vouch for your description of Big Springs, some of the most beautiful water you will see anywhere. I have been there a few times in my life. I live roughly 3 hours East of there. Glad you posted that, I haven't been there for a few years.

Morning Ike! I knew you lived relatively close. Yes sir it is a beautiful spot to enjoy the day. Summer, Fall, Spring and Winter. I go there quite often. My dad would take us there to float on current river in the summer and we would hunt deer in the winter. Dont hunt much anymore but I like to just enjoy the scenery. Glad I was able to bring back good memories for you.

Looks like the thaw is on there I went to walk my property Saturday and could not get in the gate snow was still deep and you could'nt stay on top of it without falling through put out the last of feed for deer come back on Sunday and I couldn't believe how fast they tore them beets and corn up my Dixie Jo dawg could walk on it but I couldn't...it'll be April before I can get past the gate in a truck iced up from the road grater

Big Springs, Van Buren Mo. An hour from my house.

Water comes barreling out of the springs!

You aroused my curiosity, so I looked it up. It comes barreling out at an average of 450 cubic feet of water per second. The maximum flow is 2,000 cu ft per second. Temp is 58 degrees.

Awesome Ike! I couldn't remember the exact! When floating down current river when you get close to the springs there is like a line in the water where it goes from cold (your use to this water temp by then) to ICE COLD and we all start hollering!! Its funny, everytime we floated, we knew it was going to happen, but it still give us a shock!! Good times!
