Summer '98 Blackwater Canoe Trip
On Friday, August
7, 1998 we traveled three hours to the Blackwater River
State Park in northwest Florida
. After driving through
several strong summer afternoon thunderstorms we finally
arrived at the park. Luckily, most of our gear remained
dry through the downpours. Once there, we rented our
canoes and drove to a parking lot where we loaded our
gear and ourselves into the outfitter's truck. From there
we then drove through the rain and mist to our drop-off
point, several miles from the park entrance. Quickly we
unloaded the canoes, filled them 
with
our gear and slid them down the bank into the river. And
so we began our adventure down the swift and turning
Blackwater River.
