Mom took this photo this morning. The boats have a diver down retrieving a sunken cypress tree. It just happens to be in one of our best fishing holes! 😂

Say what!? I'm gonna need more of the story lol. Is there something special about sunken cypress trees? Yep! They're worth big bucks! LOL. So about 150 years ago they were logging the cypress trees in Florida and would move them by floating them down the rivers. A bunch of the logs would sink. They've been down on the bottom of the rivers all this time and have been preserved by the cool deep water. Now there's people who dive down and find them and bring them up to sale. There was even a TV show about it a few years ago and mom and dad seen them filming out on the water.
