The Escambia River

-
The Escambia River is a 92-mile river of which 54 miles are found in Florida. The river has its headwaters in southern Alabama and is called the Conecuh in that state, changing names as it comes into Florida as it drains into Pensacola Bay. 
The nice little nature view while walking      onto the boardwalk.
      The tree rats sure made quite a mess
                 A board walk nature view
This was taken one foggy morning from the boardwalk looking toward the boat launch
                           Looking North
                           Looking South
                            Looking back
    This is how it looks when the water level                                     is low

                  Stepped off the boardwalk
 Had to walk, crawl, duck, step over and    manuver through vegetation
I like this view
On the riverbank just under the boardwalk
Looking through the bushes towards the old bridge piling, trying to get a better picture

This building was constructed at a size of 22x32x12 feet and was put in place at an amount of $423.10.  This little red school house was left neglected to the elements, which caused the building to deteriorate. And sadly, this structure was too far gone to attempt restoration efforts, and it was eventually torn down by the land owner. So much for historical preservation.

                                                                     Telephone Pole Insulators                                 While exploring in a wooded area following alongside the railroad tracks, there are a few abandoned telephone poles left in place from the old hay days. My dad once told me that back in his day, him along with his buddies used to throw rocks at those old poles to see who could knock off those insulators. Well, I went out there and looked around the area. I just happened to see one of those old poles hiding in the woods, so I entered through the woodline to explore. While glancing around and scanning the ground for anything interesting, I just happened to spot a piece of glass resting in a pile of fallen ...
