8-3-13 Little River/Cottonbrook

Due to the danger of thunderstorms I ended up taking Sal to the lowlands of Little River.
This is the boat launch area, I have yet to actually go here in my kayak.  It is a huge lake so plenty to explore when I do
One of the underpasses for the path.  The weather was just stunning.
I had to go off trail to wander down to where I had camped with Lucas last year.
This is looking south, this sandbar was very soggy.
So I decided to literally walk up stream.  The water was ankle deep for the most part.  I marked the beginning with this little pile of rocks.
Sal was excited for the adventure.
This was washout from Irene.  Even now the damage from that powerful storm is obvious.
Sal having a blast.
I found slightly off shore this log with this stone on top of it.  There were no tracks, nor a trail around this area.  I think this was left but currents from the last flood.
There were tons of little pools and the like.  The water was surprisingly murky and a bit cold.
A cool little feeding stream I had to cross.
The stone all had the layered sedimentary kind of rock.  I actually found a nice secluded spot and went skinny-dipping in the river.  It was the first time I have done that in a long time and it was a lot of fun.  A perfect day for it.
