    Is this the one that was just called "Blue Springs", on the road between High Springs, and Ginnie Springs?

    Yes. Green Springs would be a better name for it now though. I was there a couple of months ago and it's sad seeing it now after what I remember growing up. We used to go there after school quite a bit.

    Not there, no. A few caves in the river near there are worth diving.

    Ginnie has been green too since Irma came through. Gilchrist Blue will be flowing clear again soon
