Enter the Wilderness: Ichetucknee River

Out of all the nature hotspots around UF, the Ichetucknee River is one of the best. Forty-five minutes north of Gainesville, the Ichetucknee rises from a series of first magnitude springs, and flows south into the Santa Fe River. You can swim in the two sources springs at the North Entrance, Ichetucknee and Blue (pictured), or you can rent a tube and float down from the South. I always describe the river to friends as the lazy river, an eternally 72 degree stream of clear water filled with turtles, fish, and, at this time of year, manatees.

Dante Fowler Jr. training in Pensacola, ready for transition to NFL

Things are different for Dante Fowler Jr. these days. There is no class to go to or Gator Dining training table to eat from. He doesn’t dodge scooters on his way to the facility or answer questions about why Will Muschamp’s job is in jeopardy. Fowler now spends his days fully devoted to training for the thing he’s dreamed about his whole life — a spot on a National Football League roster.
