	Northeast Park to Piney Green Bridge


	We had a lovely five mile roundtrip on this beautiful creek. One area was solid with gorgeous palmettos. Wisteria hung from trees over the river. Violets showed up all along. We saw ospreys, ducks, squirrels, and an owl being chased by small birds. A lady made out of stone was an unusual find. We saw alligators going both ways. The weather was excellent and it was a very nice paddle indeed. We are planning a return trip to get about 12 logs out that are blocking the river. We did not have a chain saw on this trip.


	This is Elmer on the way up stream carrying his canoe over the one and only beaver dam on this section of Northeast Creek. A few years ago, before JR Batchelor of Onlsow County, Mosquito Control, removed it, this dam was four or five feet high. On the way back down Elmer opened a hole in the top of the dam and made a chute or flume and all shot through it and got a little thrill of white water paddling.
