Camping at the Barred Owl Roost camping platform. 4-15-12--4-17-12

We set out from Robersons Marina with a beautiful sky above us and the wind at our backs. The Barred Owl Roost is about a six mile paddle up several of the creeks that comprise the Roanoke River basin. Nature seemed to greet us with open arms. Bald eagles, owls, otter, deer, snakes, and a wide variety of local song birds were all spotted over the three day two night camping trip. The platform earned its name as night fell and the owls started talking.
