    Today’s theme was WET because it rained most of the day. I started my morning kayaking Moki to shore in the rain, then we went thru the Heflin lock in the rain. After that we cruised 57 miles in and out of the rain. Along the way we passed the White Cliffs of Epes. These cliff are part of the Salma Chalk formations and deposited about the same time as England’s famous white cliffs of Dover. A little further down river we watched two deer swim across the river. Amazing how well they swim! We came to rest this afternoon at the USACE Forkland Campground where I once again took Moki to shore in the rain. We’re in a bay with good water depth and the campground boat ramp is an easy paddle away. Near the ramp is a really nice trail with interpretive signs. It rained sporadically while we were on the trail but we dry and Moki had a great time so all good! The rain has stopped as I write and wind and cold weather are in our future.Read more
