The Timucuan Paddle Post 11/29/09 The Timucuan Paddle Page Weekly Newsletter  Picture of the Week: Water Moccasin on Durbin Creek What’s Up? I had the week off and began it by visiting a place that I only seem to get to once a year at this time - Durbin Creek. It wound up being a 15 mile trip that included a journey up Julington for a mile or so. With bad weather on the way, I pushed myself to get out the next day for a 13 mile trip on the St. Marys River from Bulogne to Prospect Landing around the Ralph Simmons State Forest where we went on our first FMNP field trip. I found some great places to camp there and it was a surprisingly remote and beautiful section of the river. With the rain, Thanksgiving and everything else, I took the rest of the week off and spent some time working on the web site and the calendar which is now available at my Lulu site. I'm still working on the other versions but the first publication looks pretty good and will be on sale at St. George soon.       Paddle Forecast High tides will be early morning to mid-day.
