Earthrise — Many say Bill Anders’ picture of the Earth, as seen from the Moon, was the most influential photograph taken since the invention of the camera. Vice President turned Environmentalist, Al Gore, said Bill Andrews’ Earthrise was a seminal, transformative image that exploded into the human consciousness, and effectively launched the modern environmental movement.
Fountain of Youth — As a young sailor on Christopher Columbus’ second voyage to the New World, Juan Ponce de Leon was fascinated by the clear, cool, bubbling springs he had come upon in the Islands of Bahama. Surrounded by lush green vegetation, the tropical springs were a kind of jungle oasis, a place where a traveler could rest, renourish, relax, and in de Leon’s case, dream of immortality.
FOLLOWING THE STARS
CELESTIAL NAVIGATION (WIKI)
(3000-2000 BC)
The earliest sailors who looked toward the unknown horizon, followed the night sky’s stars, on their voyage across a treacherous Atlantic Ocean, to find what they hoped would be fame and fortune in The New World.
Christopher Columbus — Italian Sailor, flying for Portugal’s Queen Isabella, looking to tempt the horizon, looking to find a faster (trading) route to Asia. Instead, the young explorer found a New World, filled with silver, gold, and precious stones. [THE EMERALD BEYOND]
Neil Armstrong — After centuries of men watching the movement of objects in the sky, especially the Moon. It was the closest, the largest, and the subject of all time’s mystery. It was where every dreamer wanted to go.

VOYAGER (NASA)
Back To Earth (CONTACT) — An imagined return of Voyager after completing its mission to photograph the planets and other celestial bodies it encountered in its Solar System exploration. Such a return to Earth has been a story line in more than one made-for-Hollywood movie. Reality is the Voyager, in 1990, flew by the orbits of Neptune and Pluto, in 2012, entered the Milky Way, and crossed into interstellar space . NEVER LOOKING BACK, the Voyager continues to fly far BEYOND THE STILL UNKNOWN.
Space, Guns, and Money — Three (post-2000) launches represent the changes in Space Exploration. Most notable, the change from scientific exploration to commercial exploitation.
Jules Verne — A collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led French science fiction writer Jules Verne to write (create) the Voyages Extraordinaires, a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). His novels are generally set in the second half of the 19th century, taking into account contemporary scientific knowledge and the technological advances of the time.
From The Earth to the Moon (1865)
Lure of The Moon — Since the beginning of recorded time, first by cave painters, astronomers, and sailors, and later by anyone looking into a starry night, man has wondered about the mysterious orb. No man more than Jules Verne, the French, Science Fiction writer who brought his imagining a man being shot to the Moon.
Cosmic Message In A Bottle — Carl Sagan’s dream to discover Extraterrestrial Life. [E.T.]
Lust for Gold — Most of the early European explorers of the New World were hoping to find Gold, Silver, and Precious Stones. [ATOCHA]
Fantasy — Walt Disney created the life he wanted to live in the future. The life he believed all Americans dreamed to live. [IMAGINATION]

Wakulla Springs a first magnitude spring and major exposure point for the Floridan Aquifer that forms the Wakulla River. Located 14 miles (23 km) south of Tallahassee, Florida and 5 miles (8.0 km) east of Crawfordville in Wakulla County, Florida at the crossroads of State Road 61 and State Road 267, it is protected in the Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park. Fossilized remains of at least ten extinct mammals that date to the last glacial period, including mastodons.

BLACK SEMINOLES
MICCOSUKEE
Alachua Seminoles – Around 1750, a Hitchiti-speaking group of Oconees, led by Ahaya, moved to Florida, settling on what is now known as Paynes Prairie. They were joined by migrants from other Hitchiti-speaking Lower Towns of the Muscogee Confederacy and kept many captured Yamasees as slaves. Ahaya’s people were the first to be called “Seminole.” The Alachua Seminoles became involved in the Patriot War of East Florida in 1812. After fending off attacks on their largest town by militia from Georgia, the Alachua Seminoles moved south to the area around Okahumpka. The chief of the Alachua Seminole during the Second Seminole War was Micanopy, likely a great-nephew of Ahaya.

Ocklawaha River — The river was used extensively in the 19th century and early 20th century for steamboat transportation, most famously the Hart Line operated by Hubbard L. Hart.

In the 1870s, the route between Palatka and Silver Springs became very popular and was a trip taken by many prominent figures:
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Ulysses S. Grant
Thomas Edison
Mary Todd Lincoln
The scenic trip up the river added a sense of adventure to a visit to Florida. The river boat attraction waned after 1881, the year the railroad arrived in Ocala, the city of which the Spring was a big part.
