Paddle Oklawaha December 2016 |
An intrepid group from Santa Fe Audubon joined other paddlers on an exploration of the Oklawaha River led by Lars Anderson. The day was overcast, but comfortable and the colors of the fall foliage beautifully bright. Sightings included ibis, eagles, yellow-rumped warblers and, for some, a clumsy young bear. While stopping at Davenport Landing for a snack break, Lars also shared details about the river’s history as a steamboat route and pointed out some of the native vanilla tobacco that was used during that era.
