Wekiva River and Blackwater Creek

Sunday, December 7, 2014.

Underway from Katie's Landing at 9:10 AM

Paddling down the Wekiva River

Eastern phoebe

Belted kingfisher

Approaching Blackwater Creek

Break spot

Less room than usual due to high water. The pond on the back side is high

Lunch eaten, I went back down Creek.

Back to the Wekiva

Vulture

Turkeys

How I feel when kayaking

Landed at 2:20

Went for a walk

A wrong turn took me to the ranger quarters

An hour's walk.

Turkeys from the car.

Dave said...: This is as recent as I have. And, it only covers one third of the Creek. Ask about conditions when you get your permit. And be aware they can change daily.; December 26, 2014 at 2:17 PM
