St. Paddy's Day Paddle

Another trip to my favorite floodplain; the Congaree National Park.

I put in at the Cedar Creek landing and headed toward the Congaree River.

The pollen was so thick you could see it in the shafts of light filtering through the towering trees.

I saw about a dozen ducks; a dozen turtles, a kingfisher, an egret and a feral hog.

I turned around at mile 6 and headed back to the landing.

I forgot my camera but collected the following litter:

1 lb. propane canister
Birkenstock shoe
Flip flop
eight 20oz. glass bottles
fourteen plastic bottles
two bobbers
fishing line and hook
and about 1 gallon (volume) of styrofoam bits and pieces
