Last weekend, Brian and I were lucky enough to visit our friend’s river cabin on the Black Mingo Creek (off of the Black River). The cabin was her grandfather’s and is now owned by her and her siblings. It was a sweet little house with a small river dock, a couple of bedrooms, and several screened porches. We arrived late Saturday and only stayed one night, but on Sunday we got up and spent the whole day on the creek. Went for a long kayak in the morning, came back to scramble some eggs for breakfast, and then went back out to hang out on the dock. I did some river floating while the others water skiied. Then we took the boat out for a little cruise. We spotted a big aligator swimming across the river during our paddle and I spotted a baby aligator hanging out on the side of the creek. It was so relaxing to be surrounded by so much green. Since I’ve moved onto the boat, there is plenty of beautiful water to look at everyday, but boy do I miss trees.
