Bulow Creek, Flagler Beach - "In Wisdom You have Made Them All"

 O LORD, how manifold are Your works!

In wisdom You have made them all.

The earth is full of Your possessions--

This great and wide sea,

In which are innumerable teeming things,

Living things both small and great.

Psalm 104:24-25 NIV

Bulow Plantation ruins Historic State Park - "One Day is as a Thousand Years"

 But, beloved, do not forget

this one thing, that with the Lord

one day is as a thousand years,

and a thousand years as one day.

The Lord is not slack concerning

His promise, as some count 

slackness, but is longsuffering

toward us, not willing

that any should perish but that

all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:8-9 NIV

Sugar Mill at Bulow Plantation Ruins

The Sugar Mill ruins has a scenic walking trail a short distance from Bulow Creek.  Bulow's sugar mill, constructed of local "coquina" rock, was the largest mill in East Florida. At the boat slips, flatboats were loaded with barrels of raw sugar and molasses and floated down Bulow Creek to be shipped north. This frontier industry came to an abrupt end at the outbreak of the Second Seminole War. It is surrounded by old oak trees and native habitation of plants and animals.
