Leon Sinks

We went to Peter & Laura’s on Saturday. It was fun. They bought a pretty brown couch. It’s really comfy. We had a crab boil for dinner. Ryan came over and ate some too. We went over to his house later (after we picked up some choice things at Target for next Halloween). Andrew helped him with chemistry and I fell asleep.

Sunday Andrew and I went on a short hike in Leon Sinks. Fun! We had a picnic on a bench by one of the sinks. Burt this time we made it all the way to Big Dismal Sink. That’s my favorite one. Hammock Sink is a close second. My camera’s battery died early on, so I didn’t get pictures of a lot. I only was able to snap about 10 before the camera would no longer turn on. There was one place that was like fall essence. It was so pretty. The sun was lighting up all the fall colors and we were surrounded. Stupid camera.

This is Hammock Sink. The water was absolutely georgeous!
You could see all the way to the bottom. When it rains, it turna a murkey tea color.

But not Sunday! It was a beautiful teal.

Here's Andrew looking out over the Hammock Sink.

This is Gopher Hole sink. It's an awesome cave like sink. This is the bottom.
There is a deep hole leading down to this opening on the top. I was only ever up there
once and I was scared I was going to fall in. The felled tree is a new addition.
Probably from Fay. The sink is full of water and it is so calm.
It's like looking at glass in the dark. I didn't get a good picture this time.

Evelyn in fall. I love fall.

This is Big Dismal Sink. It is awesome and the picture doesn't do it justice.
You have to see it in person to understand how huge this hole is.
I'd say hundreds of feet to the top of the water. And the water is so deep it's black.

Aren't we cute?

Sinkholes

A sinkhole opened up on Capital Circle yesterday. I like sinkholes, just not when they open under something important. Like the road, or Ryan’s house. Leon Sinks in the Apalachicola Nat’l Forest is pretty cool. If you go on the 3 mile hike, halfway is a beautiful sinkhole lake. I mean really pretty. In the summer it should be covered in magnolia blooms. So pretty. One of the last times I was there, I was by myself taking some pictures for my photo class. I was trying to get the same feel as Ansel Adams. Anyways, I got all freaked out thinking there were snakes and stuff and all of a sudden my phone buzzed and I just about threw it and ran away. The Gopher sink is really cool too. I could spend all day looking at the sinks.


This is the Capital Circle sinkhole. You can see the layers. How cool is that?
Here is a video from the Ukraine. It was on TV last night on the Destroyed in Seconds show. I love that show. It’s real close in my rankings with Project Runway and The Smoking Gun Presents shows and the Tornado Chaser show and MythBusters.



Speaking of Smoking Gun Presents, last night was a good one. The best was the catfish catching. “Instead of using a pole, you use your arm. And instead of using bait, you use...your arm.” lol
