We paddled on the Dead Lakes again today. We took a side channel and paddled into the thick trees and explored.
John between trees.
John in the big trees and one of me John took.
Some of these trees have really huge buttresses. John paddling in the main channel. It is called Dead Lakes because they flooded the area and many of the trees died, they took the dam down later and there are all these stumps, but more live trees now.
Our neighbors Guy and Alice in the campground were also out kayaking. More cool cypress trees.
A big spider on one of the trees I passed, cool shaped tree, a tree with a rhino horn on the side. We headed into town- Welcome to Wewahitchka, home of the champions- the Wild Thangs. Sunset tonight on camp.
Sunset and the footbridge over the lake in camp. Today was 68 and partly cloudy. We boated again on Dead Lakes. John with some of the tree stumps.
These water lines from previous years water levels are cool in this area, they have some moss or lichen on them. The highest ones are at least 5 feet higher than now. Another stump. Some of these are so thin I would not want to be by them in a windstorm. Violets and bay lobelia growing in the lawn at camp. Another of the water lined stumps.
When we came back to camp there was this big plume of smoke above it. Someone is burning some fields by the campground. Looks kind of ominous. Sunset tonight from camp. These longleaf pines are really tall, they can reach 150 feet tall.
The progress on the masterpiece. A little funky looking but coming along.
