1/12/2020, Ocklawaha R.: FL-42 (Sunnyhill Trailhead) to the Dam at FL-464C

With: David Bernard, Chris Oberlin, Ed Evangelidi
 
And now we were down to just four of us, in four boats. This was another long flatwater paddle, even more grueling than the day before, and not the least bit scenic. It was straight, unshaded, and featureless, like paddling a canal, with tall levies so we could not even see the Sunnyhill Reclamation Area we were paddling through.
 
I hit the highway directly from the takeout at around 4:00 PM, and was home shortly after midnight.
