Little River 7/24/04

08/28/2004 - Little River: We went for an evening paddle up the Little River cutoff from the Savannah River. We put-in at the Riverside Park boat ramp off Hardy-Macmanus Road and paddled up the Little River and back. Above Euchee Creek, there was a strong current flowing down Little River against us for about a mile. Then the current suddenly ended and we had practically no current the rest of the way, including the whole way back. We paddled on up to Little Keokee Creek and then up it until a dam blocked the creek. Just before the turn back to the boat ramp, a beaver made a huge splash in the darkness ahead of us. It was a gorgeous evening with a Full Moon. Cardinal Flower, a purple Lobelia, Virgins Bower, and Mistflower were blooming.
