Blackwater Creek

On the water at 9:15

Saw the first deer I have seen in my recent visits to the Seminole State Forest. Unable to get a photo. 

I did get pictures of 1 of 2 roosting swallow tail kites.  The other flew off.

The bridge was lower than it was 10 days ago.  Rain.

Florida Trail campsite below.  The big mama gator across the creek from it was not visible

Landed just before 11. I will get one more paddle in while my State Forest permit is valid. Friday after work.  The permit is good through the 23rd, but there is hunting in the Forest the 19th through the 23.  Turkey.
