Staying with the Blackwater theme. Fifth paddle on a waterway named, "Blackwater" since October 3. Two rivers, and a creek.
On Blackwater Creek, from the Lake Norris Conservation Area, at 9:51.
Eastern phoebes are back. I have seen a lot over the last couple days.
Entering Lake Norris
Did not see a single osprey. I know it is not nesting season, but not even one flying over head.
Vultures
Duck potato
Ibis
Take a bow.
Turned back, here.
It was windy, so I paddled inside the cypress trees that ring Lake Norris
First coot I have seen this season.
Another seasonal sign, the cypress needles are beginning to turn orange.
The wind picked up. Rained a little, too.
Back to Blackwater Creek
Not passable? I'll be the judge of that.
Paddled almost 30 minutes past the "Unpassable" sign.
Landed at 1:36
I wanted to bike, but my off road bike has a flat rear tire. Did not feel like changing it.
So, I walked.
Wonder if this is a logging skid, or part of a bridge.
40 minute walk.
