Blackwater Creek

I have met wonderful people through kayaking. Many of them on trips with Adventures in Florida. One being Traies R. I kayaked with her back in May, and she recently said she wanted to do it again. I have a permit for the Seminole State Forest. I told Traies she would have to get a permit, which would likley take a day, or is she wanted to join my today we could meet in the parking area, put my kayak on her car, and drive in. She said she could pick me, and my kayak up. Yes! That meant I could paddle the Tsunami, instead of the Pungo, for the first time in over 2 week. Today was day 16 of my car being in the shop.
On the Creek at 10:20.

Rock Springs Run
Last time paddling up Rock Springs Run I only went here, Otter Campsite. I was determined to go to Indian Mound today. The 12 ft Pungo is more of a workout than a 14 ft Tsunami

Econlockhatchee River

I met Tim S. shortly after 9 AM at the Seminole County Road 419 Bridge. We drove to the Snow Hill Road Bridge, put my kayak in his pickup, and drove back to 419.
On the River at 9:48.
