From Juniper Springs, it's approximately a five mile hike
via the Florida Trail through the Juniper Prairie Wilderness to
the Hidden Pond primitive campsite.

Time to return to the real world.
After the five mile hike out of the wilderness,
a swim at Juniper Springs is refreshing.

This brought back a lot of Florida camping memories. What a lovely spot to set up camp! The picture of the stars in the sky is fantastic! Miss my FL friends! Ann
You spent the night?!! How fun!
Did you get your feet wet in the treacherous river? Did you see any bear(not scat)?
