I put on about 9:30am at the 12th st. landing; the temp was ~61F with a light wind.
It rained last night so the creek was flowing pretty good.
It took about an hour and fifteen minutes to get down to the Congaree River which is slightly over four miles from the landing.
Only one portage right before the US 77 bridge at mile 3 from 12th st.
Today turned out to be idyllic after the couple of grey days we've had.
I saw eleven turtles, seven deer and a great heron today.
Plus a couple of kingfishers.
Less garbage than I expected with the rains and I am thankful for that.
I finally took down this tent that is on the left in the picture.
I first noticed this tent last Sept. but did not disturb it as it was possibly someones' home.
After four months I decided it was time to check it out as the tent had collapsed.
I removed three propane bottles, the can opener and the five cans of Chef Boy R Dee.
I wonder what happened to whomever was living there...
The rest is the usual human debris: plastic soda bottles, bobbers, and a couple of beer cans.
I took out under sunny skies and 63F.
All in all, just a fabulous day outdoors in scenic South Carolina; and one I won't soon forget.
