(View Original Event Details) Trip Leader(s): Allston, Katherine Dorsett Bennett Participants: Allston, Katherine Dorsett Bennett, Doug N, Laurie, Susan Scott, Donna D, Kelly, Chuck M, Stephanie Troutman, Wayne, Beth Ash, Katharine Leonard

Twelve Atlanta Outdoor Club members enjoyed a full weekend paddling at three spring-fed rivers in Florida. The big highlight was watching manatees swim near our kayaks at Silver Springs State Park. This was the club's 8th annual event to Florida and it did not disappoint. We had a lot of fun visiting Juniper Creek, Weeki Wachee and Silver Springs River. Our group of 12 also enjoyed dining out together and staying at a beautiful home on a horse ranch. It was a great event!
