MISSION: Buford


Looks like this weekend is a scouting mission to find Buford Spring. Buford is a small, pristine sinkhole hidden in the marshes of the Chassahowitzka Wildlife Management Area. Being as it is about 5 miles back into the wilds and has at best a dirt road leading to it, the site is not heavily trafficked and remains in its wild state. I plan on making the trek along with Gibby and Robbie, who has a truck brutal enough to get us all there. Perhaps we will bring snorkels or a small tank and do some submerged recon as well. Mostly we hope to get some accurate GPS readings and take a look at what it would take to put in a walkway, like at the Eagle's Nest. Eagles Nest is a large, deep cave system which is WAY beyond my current skills, training or confidence.
More to come this weekend... hopefully lots of pictures.
