The launch - paved to a sandy launch.Littered with the beer cans, loose mono-filament and a cast net. Why cant people manage their trash?

Story

Final kayak exploration with my godson Alex. We put in at the ramp at 207 but went upstream until we could not get past a large tree, about 0.8 miles. We had to maneuver around lots of obstacles. We turned around and headed to the creek mouth out at the St Johns. This is a great creek with lots of shady areas, but only one place to exit the boats. We saw five gators, 3 juveniles, one medium gator and a glimpse of the bull of the creek. This was my longest paddle on Deep Creek due the upstream bushwacking! We celebrated with a trip to Rita's!
