We went to the Flint River March 24, 2012. We didn't go to the head waters because that was a concrete culvert in the bad part of town of Atlanta. Instead we went to Sprewell Bluff Park near Thomaston, Ga. Glad we did as you can see it is beautiful there. The Flint River keepers have been successful blocking plans to dam up part of the Flint so Atlanta can have more water. They also along with other River keeper in the state block the "Dead Head Logging" bill which would have allowed speculators to go in and bring logs that are sunk on the river bed, tearing up the river bed and disturbing the wild life and fish. Oh and the bill that would have allowed the fish farms to raise talapia was also stopped for this session. So despite the Governor and his cronies the rivers are OK for awhile. But the Ogeechee keepers suffered a defeat when they tried to sue this company for a chemical spill they felt contributed a large fish kill. The judge said their case didn't have merit. But I think they are going to appeal.

Here Linden is "launching" the crystals out into the center as best she could. The river is very gentle here there were kids tubing, people fly fishing, some like us just sitting and watching the river go by. It is a nice area to interact with the river, a canoe went by. The sun danced on the water like diamonds.

You have heard of "Old Man of the Sea" well here is my version of "Old Woman of the River". Would like to go back one day. But, I have 5 more rivers to visit. By doing this we can not only bless those rivers, but those rivers flow into either the Gulf or the Atlantic.

This is kind of a long blog but this one wanted to be included. Linden took this one. Such a nice stone. It was very appreciative of everything we did. It allowed Linden to use it's back to get closer to the center of the river. We even left the river a little rose bud. The River Spirit remained calm and serene, but the excitement was also felt from the addition of the crystals. The Flint River Spirit was happy that we came.
