[va-richmond-general] Whippernock Creek-Dinwiddie 14 November

Had a great paddle in the summer-like weather today at a brand new spot for me  
in Dinwiddie County. It was definitely worth working yesterday to be rewarded 
with a day like today. There were only two of us on the water and the only 
sounds were the crukking of Herons, the kee-yerring of Red-shouldered Hawks and 
the sounds of  turtles slipping off their logs into the water. The put-in is 
cake and there are many easy pull-offs all along the paddle to stretch and have 
lunch.. There are no houses; just woodland, swamp and some distant farmland and 
a bird or two ...
