Shell Mount 11/11/2001

I took Sheree paddling on a short trip out from Shell Mound. After crossing over to Hog Island, we turn north and then east over to Buck Island. From there we cross over to Derrick Key and took a break before returning to the launch site at Shell Mound. Trip distance was about 4.5 miles.

Sheree

This was Sheree's first trip to the Shell Mound Unit of the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge (NWR).

We paddled out from the boat launch at Shell Mound and crossed over to the NE side of Hog Island.
