THE PHOTO: "Ocklawahaman" snapped this picture yesterday 8/3/16 at 1:05 pm EDT of a cooling-off spot (before bass-fishing) along the middle Ocklawaha River upstream of the Eureka Hwy-316 Bridge. Morning water temperature of the Ocklawaha was 77 degrees F -- contrast this with the 89-90 degree F morning water temperature of the St. Johns River at Buffalo Bluff (1st SJR gage below lower Ocklawaha [out of Rodman] inflow). http://waterdata.usgs.gov/fl/nwis/uv?cb_00010=on&format=gif_default&site_no=02244040&period=&begin_date=2016-08-01&end_date=2016-08-03. The middle Ocklawaha (before it enters Rodman Reservoir [with its dam thermal pollution]) is an extension of Silver Springs - Silver River artesian springwater at 73-74 degrees F. Thank you to all that have already signed this petition FOR-FREE and desire a free-flowing "Source to the Sea" 56-mainstream-mile "Real-Florida-By-God" Ocklawaha River - Silver River - Silver Springs system! Encourage others and spouses and/or significant others to do the same! Please be aware that many active public employees of the Federal or State (of Florida) governments who agree with this "FREE THE OCKLAWAHA RIVER BY THE BREACHING OF RODMAN DAM" petition will be very reluctant to sign it publicly because of social media policies that may apply to them -- they have their careers, retirements, and families to consider! "Ocklawahaman" understands their situation because I was a U.S. and Florida governmental employee before retirement. Thanks for your support! Sincerely, "Ocklawahaman" Paul Nosca.
