Another Uwharrie Float

Who can argue with another float on the Uwharrie? John and I dropped the kayaks in the water at Lassiter Mill and slowly floated downriver. Level was low but it only hindered us briefly. Today the Mountain Laurel was at its peak. It lines both banks of the river in many areas.

Along the way, we encountered the usual suspects, a couple Great Blue Herons, a Kingfisher, a couple Red Tails, an owl (probably Barred), some long gar, the usual compliment of turtles and a Northern Water Snake.

We lunched on a gravel bar and sampled some Chocolate Indulgence.
