10 turkeys near my car as I unloaded add to the autumnal setting.
On the Wekiva at 8:40
Rock Springs Run
Turned back at 10:38
I saw the first people since I launched at the Big Buck campsite landing. 2 hikers. Bad timing, as I had hoped to get out an pee. Kept paddling,stepped out down Run.
Did not see anyone on Rock Springs Run until I was downstream of Otter Camp, above.
Heard a chirp. Not bird.
Baby gators.
It got crowded for a while. At the low water, twisty section. A lot, maybe 6-8,canoes coming up the Run.
Landed at 12:55. I saw less people on the Wekiva than I had on Rock Springs Run. A unique occurrence. One of who was River Patrol Volunteer, Pam D. Who thanked me as I put the one styrofoam I picked up, in the trash. She had a bag full.
After my usual Sunday at Wekiwa Springs lunch break half way up the hill, I loaded the kayak and unloaded the bike.
Rock Springs Run at Big Buck
I can only ID large birds
Speaking of large birds... I have only seen two eagles in the Park. In 20 plus years.
3.4 miles,1:20.
Short ride, just over 2 miles to Sand Lake. Time to hike.
Renegade biker took the no biking sign of the trail marker. The designated bike trail sucks, that's why I walk.
Lots of loose, sandy soil on the 8 mile bike trail. Rode it once.
Went into the campground, looking for deer.

Back to the Park Road
Where the pair also went.
I love fall. On a summer afternoon, I may have stayed out of the Spring
72 degrees felt great
Last pic of the day, 4: 45. A full day, looking forward to the Packer game in the evening. Stupid "flex" scheduling. Stupid me for not knowing game time was moved to 4. I listened on the internet.
