Paddling the Gator infested Metro Hooch

Thursday Leif and I paddled the Metro hooch. We meet around 10 am, the sun was getting hot already. After unloading a walking down to the put-in I was ready to hit the water. The water looked clear so I rolled, just once. Man that felt good. After we passed I-285 the water started to change color, for the rest of the trip I can not see the bottom of the river bed and the river and a funny odor. All in all I had a good time, I tried to catch as many eddies as I could and I even tried to run a few rapids twice, there wasn’t a lot of play spots but I did manage to catch and few waves. I’m always amazed at how much wildlife that’s on the Metro Hooch, but I never did see the gator that the game and wildlife is trying the catch, maybe next time.
