The suspicious history of Blue Springs

The unique thing about Blue Springs Park is that old-timers will tell you that the spring first appeared north of the highway approximately 300 yards from the present site. They said that the spring suddenly dried up and reappeared just south of the highway at the west end of Choctawhatchee river bridge. The question is why?
