Lower Wekiva River (from Katie's Landings)

And it was happyyyyyyyyy....

Back to the water...back to the kayak...the gator was happy...as happy as I was...

Not really. Gators open their mouth as a cooling technique so it was not happy to see me in the river again but I was really happy to be able to kayak again. This was a short one, two hours total, as did not want to stress my elbow. Not completely healed yet. Good news it did not hurt at all during the paddle. Bad news...it was a little sore this morning. Ahhhh...who cares. Let us go to the pics from this trip starting with pics from the lagoon area in front of Katie's Landings...

Kept paddling through the West side of the island near Katie's Landings. It is more wild and peaceful. Looks like someone cut lots of fallen trees. It looked very wide.

Did paddle all the way to the high ground area that it is used as a campsite, which is illegal. That does not stop people from using. Did turn around immediately. Usually I would take a break at the high ground but not this time. The following pics are from my trip up river.
