Met up with Erika for a paddle on the Saint Johns River near Blue Springs. No luck seeing manatees as the river warmed up this week. From French Street we paddled up the St Johns (south) through Snake Creek to Hontoon Dead River, south to Birdhouse Canal and back to the St Johns, north to the landing. We lost count of the alligators, many small from 1 - 3 feet, then a few 6-7 footers.

Outing of the East Bay Casual Hikers. We started at Rudgear Park off Stewart Ave. and took the Sugarloaf-Shell Ridge trail through the neighborhood into Diablo Foothills Regional Park. A series of trails took us through the Castle Rock Reg. Rec. area and then to our rest stop at Bob Pond.

East Bay Casual Hikers outing starting at the staging area on Arroyo Rd. near the dam for the Del Valle reservoir. We hiked up the hill north of the dam and continued along the north side of the lake. Our return was along a similar path with a couple diversions where there was an alternate route nearer to the water. The last 1.

Winter morning with a frosty start. Met with serious kayakers at the Seminole Canoe and Kayak Club in Ortega, Jacksonville. FL. Temps were starting in the low 40's but probably 50 by the time we hit the water. Paddling at a steady 3+ mph we quickly shed outer. Ran into a high school crew meet. Made it all the way to I295.

Double bladed adventure with my buddy Dennis. Rodman Lake, the man made reservoir is in its periodic drawn down. Seven feet below normal, it shows the massive acreage of tree stumps flooded by the Corp of Engineers. Nearly got stuck in low water over peat bogs.
