Wolf Branch Creek Sink Mt Dora Florida
Twice a year the water authority opens this parcel of land for tours...today I took one! It's been exceedingly dry this year..otherwise the Wolf Branch Creek would really have some water flow...as it is today, it's dry. The sinkhole drains the creek directly into the Florida Aquifer, the source of drinking water in this state, by and large. There is an active management program for the trees and plants in the preserve....diversification of species is the aim, and the elimination of invading, non native species. It's a reminder that conservation is real WORK, and I thank the water authority for their serious work in behalf of preserving the environment. Too much of Florida has been paved over!

Hear tell there's a male entity that hangs around near the back staircase (He's been seen!) - We head down to the Ladies Room and capture a session using water from the basin faucet for a sound field. Interesting responses - This message, in particular, grabs my attention! (*For those who might not be familiar, in 1919 all 50 states ratified the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, effectively prohibiting the production, transport and sale of alcohol; Because social drinkers were unwilling to forego their favorite past time, hidden Speak-easys (aka Blind Pigs) sprang up over-night -- Because Bathtub Gin was plentiful, Gin Joint also became part of popular nomenclature of the time.)
