Where's Mr. Aitken...clue #3.

Read Now

We went snorkeling Tuesday. It was fresh water and the temperature was about 72 degrees. We were swimming with the large marine mammals. They moved slowly enough that we could easily keep up with them. We found a more with her baby in an area near houses with many boats moving slowly by.

Later on Tuesday we went snorkeling in a river created by several fresh water spring. This spring produces more that 300 million gallons of water a day and sometimes as much as 400 million. Any more guesses? If you think you know what state I'm in please try to locate the city or area. And please include reasons for you guesses.

1) Pensacola, Florida because there are many springs, it's near the beach, there's a spring near it, and you can see manatees there.

I think you are in Everglades, Florida because there was fresh water there and it could be about 72 degrees.And maybe you could snorkel there.
I think the mammal you are talking about is maybe a West Indian Manatee because they are large and the move slow.

I think your in Dunnellon, Florida and went snorkeling at Rainbow River or spring with a large marine animal you swam with is called manatees because they live in the rainbow river. The manatees nickname is called the sea cow because it swim or walks slow as a cow and eats as slow as a cow.

I think he is in Wakulla Springs State Park in Florida because you can find dolphins( common and bottlenose), whales(short-finned pilot), and manatees. Wakulla Springs is located south of Tallahassee, Florida.

I still think you are in Pensacola,Florida because you can snorkel with manatees and I think the animal you are talking about is a manatees because they move very slowly and it is easy to catch up to it.

Mr. Aitken you have to be in Pensacola,Florida because it is exactly 1699 miles away from Arizona. And also I researched that manatees usually swim near Pensacola.

I still think that you are in Pensacola,FL because manatees live in that area and the bay near Pensacola gets some of it's water from springs.

I think you are in the Manatee Springs,Florida because those kind of sea cows seem to only swim in 72 degrees and that happens to be the degrees you're swimming in. You're in the city Cheifland!!! :)

I think that you're in Phahokee, Florida because it has a lot of rivers and stuff and it's the closest to the lake. Lake Okeechobee because It's big and that can explain how it has so much water. Plus, most manatees migrate to Florida.

Logan Tanaka

I think you are in Florida. The city that I think you are in is Chiefland. The temperature there is 72 degrees and that is the temperature you are swimming in. I think the animal you are swimming with is a manates because that is the temperature that they swim in.

My guess is that you are in Tampa Bay in Florida because the average temperature is about 72 degrees in June, there is a beach, and manatees in the area. My other guess is the Manatee River because manatees live there too.

I think you are in Miami,Florida because it is near an ocean and I think the slow animal is a whale because it is big and moves a little slow.

I think the animals you were snorkeling with are manatees because there is lots of websites on swimming with manatees. I think you were in Crystal River, Florida because there is a good manatee swimming company there.

Mr. Atiken is in Lake Okeechobee in Forida Port ST. Lucie because the lake has a big mammal callled the manatees.

He is in Everglades National Park because it fits the description and all possible locations are in there. Manatees are also found there and it's located on the coast.

I think Mr.Aiken is in Miami , Florida because I looked on google maps and suppose that you are in EverGlades National park.
I made this guess because there is a lot of grass and water in EverGlades.

I think that you're in the Everglades National Park,It's near Homestead, because it has the most freshwater than the rest of Florida.

Erica Yu

I think Mr.A is in Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park, in Wakulla County, Florida. The reason I think this because the spring has manatees, feeds into a river. the park is also near a river.

Raymond Lee

I think you' re at Everglades National Park in Florida because I looked in google maps and there is a lot of water there. So there could could be a lot of sea animals there.

Daniel Ip

6/21/2012 04:22:08 am

I think that you are in Florida. I am sure that you are in Everglades National Park which is in Homestead because the city is surrounded by water and is an ideal place for manatees to live and breed.

Ryan Chau

The state I believe you're in is Florida and the city you're in is Crystal River because nearby there is a reserve park where you can snorkel with manatees and hike on trails.

Anthony Becerra

I think you are in Crystal River,Florida. There is a river called Crystal River where you can swim with manatees in fresh water and snorkel. The Crystal River is near an airport.

I believe Mr.Aitken is in Edward Ball Wakulla Spring State Park in Wakulla County in Florida because it produces about 300 gallons of water per day. And, plus the spring is near a river. There are also manatees inside the park. And,you could go snorkeling there.

Benson Wan

I think you are in Crystal River, Florida because there you can swim with manatees in fresh water. It is also a place where you can go snorkeling and it is about 1,700 miles from Phoenix.

Bailey Deng

I'm sure you're in Florida. It has a lot of lakes at the bottom border, plus you should be in Homosassa Springs, because it has almost like 7 manatees there at Homosassa Springs.

I think you and your class are in Crystal River, Florida, snorkeling with manatees. You and your class arrived in Crystal River Airport. In Florida, you are in Kings Bay, because it is a manatee reserve and is about 1700 miles away from Phoenix, Florida and is along the coast.

Before the possible answer was manatee then he must of went to Lake Ochakeebee also in the picture it had him before a water area but not in a beach. Because there were trees behind him. On google maps it has trees in the specific lake WITH trees. So the most possible place is the lake I just mentioned.

1. Otter Springs in Florida because it has Manatees, is a fresh water spring, and has education studies.

2. Edward Ball Wakulla Springs because of the same reasons as Otter Springs.
