Fowl River Alabama, Jourdan River, Misissippi

First stop, Fowl River Alabama.
Adding photos on June 16, 2025, I can't recall where Fowl River is. My orginal plan was to visit my friend Tom, and paddle near Gulf Shores. But, that did not work out. The Fowl River must be near I-10.
Looks like I was dodging some downfall.

Chipola River, Yancey to Magnolia

Change in plans. I was going to go to Gulf Shores and spend the night at Tom G. But he is very busy and is afraid he could not be a proper host. Lucky for me, Frances S was able to put me up/put up with me for one more night.
Morning walk at Citizens Lodge Park. 4 deer were running on the other side of the tree line.

Chipola River, Florida Caverns State Park

Day One of my tour to the West Coast and back. That's West Coast as in California and Oregon, not the Gulf of Mexico. Paynes Prairie from the I-75 rest area.

Rock Springs Run

Unless I am camping at Kelly Park, this will likely be the last time I launch from Camp Joy until September. School will be out when I return from a 3 week road trip. That means the Park will be full by 9 AM
Today, there was a short line to get in. I was on the water at 10:30
