Florida Panhandle

My pals and I had been planing a trip down to the Suwanee River.  But because of the extreme amount of rainfall in southern Georgia and NOrthern Florida, the Suwanee was way above flood stage the week of our planned trip.  So we altered our plans, and went on a camping trip on the Florida Panhandle.

The trip included Dawg, Rich, Bruce and me.  In addition to our camping gear, we took 4 kayaks.  Bruce wanted to visit some friends in Georgia, so he left a few days earlier than the rest of us, and was able to take 2 Hobie i12 inflatable kayaks and some extra camping gear in his truck.  We put my Hobie Outback on the roof of my 4Runner, and a third Hobie i12 in the back.  We met up at the Port St. Joe Peninsula State Park.

We set up camp just before dark the first night in the "Shady Pines" area.

The next morning, we were off to launch the kayaks for some fishing.

We worked our way down the shore, caught a few bluefish and trout, and then stopped for lunch.

Great sunset that night on the beach.
