Bill called the water crystal clear, and it was clear, although tea-colored, as many Coastal Plain rivers are.
| Lots of fine scenery like
this along the Edisto. There wasn't a mile where you didn't
pass some kind of camp, trailer, or home, but it was mostly
undeveloped riverside. There was also a steady, if not
constant, sound of hounds and gun shots. They hunt deer 6
months out of the year and they are allowed to run the deer
with dogs, including on Sunday. At one point we passed a man
and some kids on a dock and Bill was chatting with them.
Three gunshots sounded nearby, sounded like 100 yards
away. I about jumped out of my boat with each shot. The man
and the kids didn't even flinch. I guess they are used to
it. |

| This view is representative
of the trip. The water level was very low, and you can
clearly see the bottom, and it was interesting to see the
way the river has sculpted the bottom. Many places were
deeper than this, and we never had to drag our boats. Bill called the water crystal clear, and it was clear, although tea-colored, as many Coastal Plain rivers are. |

| We used one of the
outfitters two sites at this location. This is not the nicer
one. But the pavilion is a nice feature if it is going to
rain. There is another smaller pavilion, with a hard roof,
behind the photographer. |
