Ponce De Leon. Country hotel. Beautiful springs, bathing and refreshments. Camp space."
This location along US90 is now Ponce De Leon Springs State Park, with a constant 68F spring fed swimming hole which would have been the only source of "cool" back then. Camping is not allowed in the park. $4 day use fee - honor payment system.
