Hillsborough River, Trout Creek

This will be a no critters post.  Saw on tri colored heron and one alligator during a short paddle
Rainbow as I headed west on I-4.  Which means it probably rained.  Which probably delayed my arrival at Trout Creek Park

Sunset on the Hillsborough River



 Buoys marking danger zone for a dam.  Which has gate that can open and close.  When closed, the Wilderness Parks flood.  Tampa does not.  At least, that's the plan.





 Can't recall where I stayed
 Goggle Maps tells ne there is a Sunshine Lane in Treasure Island
 Walked on the beach to Publix for a dinner sub
