Lora and I headed out Hwy 30 to the Tennessee River. We put in at the boat ramp on the South side of the TN river at the Hwy 30 bridge. This is where the old Washington Ferry used to cross. We checked out the North side, but it looks more like private property.
When we put in, we found the redneck catfish business running full speed. They had two boats with tanks and a pickup with tanks. We got in their way as they were trying to load their boats on the trailers to pull up and transfer fish to the pickup and then redeploy their boats. They don't know how to speak as everything came out yelling. We did a rapid deployment of the canoe.
Anyways, we headed to the North side of the river and West to get into the Washington Creek Slough. Once on the creek we had everything to ourselves. We paddled a counterclockwise loop around the sloughs. There are a couple of good size lakes up in there. We went up each creek as far as we could go. Washington creek was good and deep and the water was an aqua blue. We saw lots of deer, fish, turtles, and birds.
About time we got finished the thunder clouds moved in and we headed back. We did not get a chance to finish the last inlet. There was a very nice family group swimming at the boat ramp when we got back. After we got loaded up, we took a nice swim with them.
On the way back we stopped at the Yuchee Wildlife Refuge off of Bogles Chapel road. Here we checked out the boat ramp, viewing platform, picked some blackberries, and saw a young fawn.
