Cane Bayou, Mandeville
Louisiana (a little paddle with little animals)

There were hundreds of
little frogs in the grass in the water this
trip. Some would pop beneath the surface of the water when you
got too close. Sometimes they would jump on your boat and you
would have a little ride-along until they got too hot or bored.
The frogs did _not_ like the open water at all and scrambled for the
safety of the grass should they find themselves exposed.
The water on the lake was
choppy, and many parts of the
bayou were very shallow (1 1/2 - 2 feet deep)
Alligators spotted by us = 0. Alligators that spotted us =
? What does an Alligator nest look like?

It is always a good thing when the kayaks stay on the car, and the sky
stays blue.
Katie and John get ready for the paddle.
The water was very dark around the put-in. At times, back
exploring the marsh, it was clear and shallow enough to see the bottom
but generally it was murky.
Near the sides of the bayou, this grass grew thick in the water
(beneath the red boat.)
Coasting here, you began to notice hundreds of the little
frogs.

Heading back to paddle another day (and have lunch at La Correcha in
Hammond- no 'gator rating but it was pretty good)
