River Guides journal

I've created this blog to share some of the experiences and interesting wildlife encounters that I enjoy as a full-time river guide. I currently lead about 4 - 5 kayak (and canoe) tours per week on over 50 Florida rivers (see http://www.adventureoutpost.net ) . I often wish I could show more people the wonders of wild Florida. So, for those who aren't in this area, are physically unable to paddle, or just want to learn about wild Florida, I've created this journal. Welcome to my world!
