Entering my private kayaking paradise. That is what it feels like when I unlock the gate at the Seminole State Forest. A permit is required.
On the Creek at 8:20.
Paddled up stream
Moccasin Spring Campsite
Woodstork
Limpkins
Old bridge pilings
The creek is blocked by a fallen tree. It was 9:42 when I turned around. Did not make it to the Iron Bridge. Or even, the moss covered camper.

Back at Moccasin Spring
Great blue heron
One of about 4 turkeys that had been roosting when my approach must have alarmed them.
Back at the launch site. I had some time, so I kept going.
Florida Trail Campsite
Across the Creek, alligator nest site.
A big one has been here for years. I saw two, Saturday. This year's boyfriend, I assume.
Landed just after 11. I will be back, Friday after work. My permit is good through March 23
