2.00Unfortunately, this event was overbooked, and there was too many participants . it was not possible to all of us to hear what the guy had to say about the Silver Springs. Even though he tried hard to be informative and entertaining. On top of that, we ended up waiting 35 minutes before the boat launch because of necessity of purchasing the entry tickets to the park.
Great time!
