Lake Norris

Opening photo courtesey of Traies Roe.
We were on Blackwater Creek from the Lake Norris Conservation Area at 9:49.
Water level was lower than it was a few weeks ago. I think I hit 27 logs.
Me entering the Lake. Another Traies photo.
Camp Lo Che Na. Before we got to the Boy Scout Camp, Traies said, we may as well paddle around the entire Lake. Something I had only done once in 20 years. It was good to have someone take me out of my routine.

Rock Springs Run

This may be the last time I paddle the upper section of Rock Springs Run until September. School gets out soon.
On the Run from Camp Joy at 11:40.
Considered paddling upstream, but kayakers coming out from Kings Landing (as seen in the above photo) were headed that way, and I could hear more up the Run. So, I went downstream.
First gator of the day.

Wekiva River

Did a car bike shuttle
With low water, the current is swift, so the less up River paddling I have to do, the better.
