Jill, Clay and First Mate Miller spent the first night of the Pamlico Paddle at the Hindsley camping platform on Broad Creek. It was a chilly night, with temperatures dropping to the mid-40s. We found out Miller the adventure pup is not so adventurous as to sleep in a hammock.
Day 2, the kayaking trio headed across the Pamlico River and up Blounts Creek to camp at Cotton Patch Landing, the gathering site of the Save Blounts Creek campaign.
