it must be the Hillsborough. For the third Wednesday in a row we paddled on the Hillsborough River. The Hillsborough is a wonderful river. Joe Faulk of Canoe Escape claims it's the best river in the world. When questioned closely he hedges and says it may be merely the best river in the northern hemisphere. In any case, it is a great river. If you are ever in the Tampa area and want to paddle the on Hillsborough, drop in at Canoe Escape and let Joe and Jean set you up.Today we paddled with our friends Wayne and Lynda from NC and Joe and Jean Faulk, proprietors of Canoe Escape. The weather was warm and mild, with
some clouds. The water level was about 12" higher than when we paddled last Wednesday and almost 20" higher than we paddled two Wednesdays ago. We put in at Sargeant Park and took out at Trout Creek Park, about 8.5 miles down. We again saw all the usual birds as well a few pretty fair gators. Just before taking out we paddled up Trout Creek. Trout Creek is a very deep, slow-moving creek and an excellent place to see some gators.
