 While waiting for the cars to be shuttled, it was suggested that I take the long board walk. Very long but a must-see even for those who never get in a boat.
|  The board walk alongside the very shallow clear water.
|  I knew that I would be paddling down there.
|
 At the end of the board walk there is a spring not seen by those in the kayaks and canoes.
|  This was worth the long walk.
|  A last look and I headed back to the launch site.
|
 There were four turkeys walking along the board walk near the launch area. I couldn't get my camera out fast enough to get all four.

|  About four inches of water and a swift current. This is the first bend.

 |  I kick back for a few minutes.
|  First alligator of the day. I almost missed him and he raised his head when I paddled back to get a closer look.

 |  Hannah and the gator checking each other out.

 The last gator and a really big one!
|  Hard to keep the camera level with that current.

 Almost to the take out point. We had gone through several showers and it had been a beautiful day.
