Canoeing the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge (May 2003)

The Milltail Canoe/Kayak Trail sign at the launch site.
My lovely wife at the launch site.

Looking over the bridge out into Milltail Creek at the launch site.
In the morning the water was so calm and still that it was like a black mirror.

Narrow canal way.

A mass of Water Lilies.

Milltail Creek looks more like a small lake than a creek in most areas.

The tip of our guide's canoe and the small alligator.

It's hard to see, but there's a large alligator swimming away from the grassy banks on the far side of this shot.
