Hopefully the 175ft deep spring would become part of a state park/historic site if the Navy decomissions the site.

Thank you very much for posting that amazing story about Bugg Spring.
Florida has some wonderful places.
In 1963 our club at Fort Myers High School took a trip up to Cypress Gardens and stopped at Bok Tower on the way back. I thought Bok Tower was pretty boring.
After my wife and I moved to TV in 2016, she learned about Bok Tower and she wanted to go there. I consented, so we drove down there and we were overwhelmed with the beauty of the tower and the wonderful gardens. I guess a 72 year old man has more appreciation for the beauty of this world than a 17 year old.
We go back to Bok Tower about twice a year for a visit. One time on a very hot sunny day we found a baby gopher turtle on the trail and we put it into the shade.
