 Ah, the Jacks Fork River. My sanctuary. My husband and I took off to the river yesterday and explored a little. I grabbed these pictures of an area called Blue Spring. It's a pretty popular spot and it was unusual to find it vacant.  *Upriver* The spring that gives Blue Spring its name is actually across the river from the access. It is accessible by canoe from this side, or by a mild hike if you come to the river via the Bluff View side of the river. There are many caves on that side of the river, a few of which you go through to get to the spring.  *Behind the rocks, in the dark area, is the spring. It is well hidden from this side of the river.*  *Snails are pretty dominate in our rivers. They keep things clean through filter feeding.*  *Lots and lots of snails!*  This is another little cave in the bluff at this access. It is accessible only by floating or swimming across the river. I've been in it once. You must crawl quite a ways through a small stream in cramped conditions but it supposedly opens up to a giant room full of formations. I've never gotten past the crawling point. Haha!  *A zoomed out look at the little cave.*  *Another view of the area where the spring hides. The flooding in April really washed a lot of trees away.*  *A happy-looking rock!* I hope you enjoyed this little tour of Blue Spring. We saw lots of different wildflowers and a really cool caterpillar, but I'm saving those for other posts. So stay tuned!! *All photos taken by me using a Samsung WB1100F camera and edited in paint.net.*
