Sawpit Creek

The boat ramp parking lot at Sawpit Creek doubles as a trailhead for the Timucuan Trail. My brother Pete and I pedaled 4.5 miles on the fantastic trail to the launch at Simpson Creek. That launch was not paddleable at low tide.

Launched from Marsh Landing, Part of Shingle Creek Regional Park. A City of Kissimmee facility. Underway at 1:09.
Cattle and ranching are prominent in Osceola County. The annual Silver Spurs Rodeo is the largest east of the Mississippi.
Most of the homes on the section of the Creek I was on were older and on the smaller side.

Haulover Canal

The marine forcast called for smooth seas on the Intracostal Waterway, so I made another attempt to see, and photo, the flaminngos at Mullet Head Island.
On the water at 12:55.
Towing may be how this guy motors his sailboat as I did not see an outboard on the stern.
Mullett Head Island
I counted 20 flamingos.
