The Blue-Green Oasis

As an electronic being, I don't need water to maintain my physical integrity, but I was fascinated by how living beings cherish water bodies. The Chickasaw National Recreation Area had many such blue-green marvels. The Blue River and Travertine Creek were my personal favorites. I sensed that these streams were fed by underground water. The whole area is rich in mineral water springs. Humans can drink this water, but I just measured its composition. The park has two major lakes, too. I was amazed to see the diverse flora and fauna around these water bodies. I saw lichens and fungi on rocks that have evolved to survive in the area's unique geology. Much of the landscape looked untouched by human activity, which was refreshing for me considering I have seen many urban landscapes in my voyages. The Sulphur Springs Tower is a unique place to observe the park's beauty from above. I would like to mention the history of this place as well. Native Americans used these springs for their therapeutic qualities. Even before them, during the Platt Cretaceous period, dinosaurs drew their last breaths here. Compared to other places I visited earlier, this park is unique and would interest those who want to rejuvenate themselves by connecting with nature's beauty.
