Day One - the Report

HOT! That's almost all we have to say!  According to the Edwards Woman the high temp was 96 with the heat index at 101. For almost 2 hrs midday we had flat waters and the heat as we kayaked above Milburnie Dam. The times we did get a current it was against us. Wildlife - lots of birds (saw one almost serve as lunch for a hawk), couple of snakes, otter, muskrat and deer as night fell. We planned to camp near the Mial Plantation Road overpass but there wasn't enough clearing to get the hammocks up. The Men were happy to meet up with the Edwards Woman at this point. We had to portage at Milburnie Dam so she was delivering the heavier part of our gear. She also had sweet tea, barbecue sandwiches, brunswick stew and banana pudding! We inhaled the sandwiches, gave her hugs and shoved off since the sun was setting on our backs and we had to go further down river to hang the hammocks.
