Econlockhatchee River

To my surprise, a check of the Yak Tales archives revealed today was the first time I had launched from County Road 419 since August, 2011. First car/bike shuttle since April of that year.  Left the kayak at the 419 bridge, drove to the Snowhill Road bridge, and biked back.

 5 miles, into the wind.

 Underway at 9:45

 

Different views from Saturday's paddle on Rock Springs Run

High, sandy banks

 Saw just two alligators, no photos.  Saw too much trash.  Brought along a plastic grocery bag for that purpose.  Filled it, and the bag that had held my sandwich. No photos

Landed at Snowhill Road at 1:20.
