		<title>Operation Migration Dunnellon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The whooping cranes have landed!

		<title>Georgia, peaches, and cream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Ice Cream Puff&#8221; The sign behind us was simple enough, and I was facing it as Georgia and I sat down for a pow-wow power lunch in the Ocala National Forest.

		<title>Early morning on the Rainbow River</title>

Here&#8217;s a peek at Rainbow Springs just after the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Paddle upstream at Silver River State Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why upstream? It makes paddling back down the Silver River SO much easier, given the noticeable current, and it gives you the opportunity to visit one of the world&#8217;s largest springs. You are not allowed to go ashore inside Silver Springs, but you can drift across the spring vents in your canoe kayak. Just keep [...]]]></description>
