Mobile-Tensaw Delta Paddle Trip

Pic heavy post incoming.

My 16 year old son and I went on a weekend paddle trip in the Upper Mobile Delta. I had been in there before and camped at the Jug Lake platform and also the Dead Lake platforms. This was my son's first time. We put in at Rice Creek Landing and paddled to the Jug Lake platform and camped overnight. Saw a gator on the way in. Woke up the next morning and paddled through Bayou Jessamine to the Indian Mounds which are hard to find because there's no signs. You have to find them using GPS coordinates. The trailhead is in the middle of the bend on Bottle Creek. We paddled all the way back to Rice Creek Landing that same day. Saw two more gators on the way back. Wore us both out but had a good time. It's so different there then up here in Central Alabama.
