"A spring is a point where groundwater flows out of the ground, and is thus where the aquifer surface meets the surface of the earth. With more than 900 freshwater springs, Florida has one of the largest concentrations of springs on Earth. Most of the springs are located in northern and central Florida."     Our search began early one summer morning with a cup of french roast coffee and a prehistoric-looking paper map of the North Florida Panhandle. We located a river within a couple hours drive from our beach house. You see, my friend lives in this quiet, little fishing village along the majestic Emerald Coast of the Sunshine State. A place that makes one realize how/why Native American tribes settled here thousands (approximately 9000 B.C.) of years before the white man. These pristine coastal areas are a seafood lover's dream. The north panhandle bays and seas boast local fare like oysters, bay scallops, shrimp and reef fish. In addition, the fresh water bubbling from nearby natural springs sustained life for the tribes; literally and spiritually speaking. This day, we went in search of natural springs more for spiritual reasons.              That evening, the local swamps and funky beach bars were enlightened by a rare, welcomed occurrence.
