Here's a suggestion for an Old Florida river paddle the day after (or before) the Sweetwater Symposium: Hillsborough River just east of Tampa (Look for Thonotosassa, FL, on a map.) See: http://www.canoeescape.com/selfguided.htm for trip routes. You can bring your own kayak and do your own shuttle or easily paddle upstream and back from one of the put-ins. Yesterday, with friends Shirley and Sandy, I paddled - Sargeant Park to Morris Bridge Park and - Morris Bridge Park to Trout Creek Park The two segments took about 4 hours. Usually you will see lots of alligators and a variety of birds including roseate spoonbills. Enjoy!
