| Sumter Landing is a public recreation area with excellent wind protection from all directions. ....'course the weather report was wrong and there wasn't any wind, nor net connection, but it was a cozy and a good place to read a book. |

| The river banks aren't as steep and bare. Trees and bushes are growing down to the waters edge. |
