Put in at Cedar Creek Landing and proceeded to head downstream.
Water level was about 5' 6".
Got downstream about three miles and realized that I'd forgotten my lunch.
Turned around and paddled back to the landing to retrieve my lunch.
Rather than head back the way that I had just come from; I decided to paddle upstream toward Bannister Bridge.
After four miles of paddling upstream; I turned around and enjoyed the leisurely float back to Cedar Creek Landing.
I saw two wild turkeys, a few ducks, a few anoles and the dragonflies are out in force.
I'm happy to say that I found a tiny amount of litter today; as evidenced by this photo.
Three plastic soda bottles, two worm tubs, a plastic bag and a wad of fishing line.
GPS recorded 14 miles of paddling.

The bait containers reminded me of my Feb 2009 column titled, "Bait in Styrofoam Containers". The article was in support of legislation to move toward biodegradeable bait containers. I noted that fish like their meat fresh and red, so ck the expiration date but we don't need the bait in containers that last hundreds of years before breaking down.
