Wonder if those Tikis ever made it back to the entrance of Panacea Mineral Springs....

Doubt that there's any trace of them left there, the park itself is gone:

In a late 1990s project, students from Wakulla High School cleared the site, erected a sign, and built picnic tables to encourage local use. They have also conducted research on the site, which was a city park in the 1960s and 1970s before falling into neglect.
One can walk the site and locate the various springs and restored structures.

The town is named for the springs. Before students began their restoration, the site was so overgrown that even established residents (those who moved to Panacea after the park closed in the 1970s) did not know it was there. With precise directions in hand JF drove by it several times before seeing the way in. The nearest spring (one in the slough) is less than 30 feet from U.S. 98.
