[Today’s run: 5 miles]
We started of the day with a good run over in Starkville.
After returning home, I checked in with my neighbor. He had been doing some carpentry work, some repairs on his house after the tornado a few weeks ago. Last week he called for a bit of help putting up some long boards on the fascia. So today I called and he did have some more of that to do. My son and I went over and we helped him get that done.
Also, the neighbor explained to us about the good fishing spots over in Bluff Lake, the big lake at Noxubee Wildlife Refuge south of Starkville.
After helping with the carpentry work my son and I loaded up the fishing stuff and went over to Bluff Lake. We found the winding stream which the neighbor told us about. We followed it back quite a way. It was a clear place between the large cypress trees. It did wind around. There were a lot of water plants, cypress tress, and green/aqua stuff in the water. All we needed was an alligator to make it a real swamp. The picture below is from a bit of a wide spot along the way.
No snakes though.
We did not catch any fish. I had a good workout on the rowing and we enjoyed exploring. Maybe we will get the fish next time.
