On the way to WP Franklin on Sunday morning I stopped at the growing Babcock Ranch Development where I enjoy all the bike paths and have biked here for the past 3 years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The eastern area is all new this year. Lots of homes but very few businesses and restaurants considering how many people now live here.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday I paddled from my campsite up Telegraph Creek and back (7 mi) and on Wednesday I did a 13 mil bike ride through the neighborhoods near our campground.<\/span><\/p>\n

The weather has been sunny with temps in the high 70’s all week. However they are forecasting lots of rain coming in late on Saturday and all day Sunday. So I decided Friday would be a good day to get in some more kayaking.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I paddled about 1 mile up the Caloosahatchee River to Hickey Creek, and then 2-1\/2 mi as far as I could make it up the creek. I had to turn around where a big fallen tree blocked my way. I checked, it was the same place I had to turn around last year. I came back to the kayak landing and had lunch, then I paddled back to my campground, a 7 mi round trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a picture of Peggy and Bob Nicholson who paddled up here with me 7 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
