The sun casts long early morning shadows, temperatures in
the mid-60s, and the water is like glass.
We search for a place to launch kayaks. There it is, a walkable incline, floating dock, secure
parking, and a short walk from the van to the water. IT"S BLOCKED.
‘Copter Bill’, a local friend, who is a quad copter (drone)
pilot/photographer, parked the van and we readied our equipment. As we placed our cameras and drone near the
incline we saw law enforcement looking on. No shouts denying or giving us permission to
be there, we continue.
Under their watchful eyes, we unload the kayaks, launch
them, and transfer our equipment from the shore; still no shouts from law
enforcement.
Van secure, kayaks launched, equipment loaded, we climb aboard,
and paddle to Spring Bayou.
