Itinerary description

This boat trip will take you up the St Johns River (runs south to north) We did it in a Gheenoe (http://www.gheenoe.net/), which is a great boat for this type of trip. As you can see I have marked the shelters and campsites we found along the trip. A large variety of wading birds were spotted, as well as some huge gators.
