My Seminole State Forest permit is good until the 23rd. But, a Turkey hunt began Saturday, through the 23rd. Not wanting to take any chances, I decided not to paddle Blackwater Creek.
Instead, I paddled Blackwater Creek. From the Lake Norris Conservation Area. No hunting. Launched at 9:20.
Upstream paddle. SUPers coming the other way said it was too windy for them on Lake Norris
It was windy, but the cypress trees provide a wind break.
Osprey nest below. I did not see a single osprey.
Egrets, on the other hand....
..
I was wise to have turned around. The wind picked up.
Back in the protection of Blackwater Creek
The launch site, I kept going down Blackwater Creek
The sign below states, "Waterway Not Passable Beyond This Point"
2nd not passable sign. I passed it.
Did not get far. If I had too, I could have pushed over the log. But, there would be more, so I turned around.
Landed at 12:17. Put a non leaking tube in the off road bike (not mountain, this is Florida) and went for a ride.
Had a nice long chat with a lady camping. Told her it was the first time I had seen anyone there. Julie M. used to be a kayak guide in Key West. She did not know my Keys family
Park at the parking area at 2:20. A short Sunday adventure. Had time to pressure wash the house when I got home. More important, time to post this Tale before 9 PM.
Back at the rookery
