It's time for a snorkeling cleanup!
BRING:
Towels, Dry clothes
Flotation device for drift (pool noodle, small tube etc.)
Wetsuit, mask/snorkel, fins (rentals are available, message for details)
Cash for State Park entry ($6 per vehicle)
It would be helpful to have a paddle craft to collect trash as we go, so if you don't want to swim, still consider attending!
Before entering the River:
We'll meet in front of the rental shop at the SOUTH ENTRANCE (address: 12087 US-27, Fort White, FL 32038), get geared up, and discuss next steps before we enter the river. During this process, we'll leave dry clothes, towels, and a couple shuttle vehicles at Hodor Park in the Three Rivers Estates (Hodor park on google maps).
After exiting the river:
Sandwiches are free of charge and available at the picnic pavilions, thanks to Ruben at "The Collective" food truck barn. After we take pictures, celebrate and eat, we'll shuttle attendees with their gear back to their cars in the Ichetucknee South Entrance parking lot upriver.
Alternate ways to get back to your car: If you're in a time crunch and not interested in sandwiches, consider shuttling or hiking up to the south entrance parking lot from the tube exit within the state park. You can pay for a wristband at the general store where we are meeting or hike for free (15 minute hike).
