Swampy’s Postcard Thursday: Silver Springs in the 1970s.

Silver Springs at it’s best. Color and natural beauty!
Note the yellow glass bottom boats. Hard to imagine that this photo for the postcard was not posed.

This postcard is postmarked July 16th, 1974, to the Crawford in Kentwood, Louisiana.
The identified sender notes that they had taken the glass bootom boats and the Jungle Cruise the day before.
Note this was sent in the more heated month of July.

This postcard is part of the Swampy’s Florida collection.
