    Jackson, SC boat ramp is about 20 minutes from my house. Been there a lot with Jon Boat and/or kayak but never an overnight. Much prefer the Spring or Fall though. Summer, spend half the day searching for shade by the bank. Thanks for the video!

    Man I can tell that was awesome trip. I know you had a good time. Seeing all the wildlife that's out there. I can't believe u saw 8 Gators out there. But I know they are all over. I want to kayak this section of River but I'm having problems with my feet swelling up on me and my wife thinks is not a good idea with the Gators there in the water in case I have a problem with my feet swelling up on me. Thank you for sharing your awesome trip I enjoy watching it. Looking forward to seeing you finish part 2.

      Thanks Mack! The gators pretty much leave you alone...as soon as they see you they disappear. Hope you get a chance to run it someday!

Me and a couple of bodies have plans to kayak this stretch of river. Do you still have plans to finish the rest of the trip out?

    I live in the area you came out in. In port went worth if I'm not mistaken you were less then 20 miles but in a kayak after effingham til you get through the ports its tough when tides are coming in.

      It's a great trip! Have fun! I don't believe there are any places to stop and refuel until you get there.
