September 21 Boardman from BB Dam to Shumsky
Published on 9/21/2011
A rather short notice for a September 21 trip on the Boardman from Brown Bridge to Shumsky produced 8 participants. The day dawned rainy and overcast, but by launch time, the sky had cleared, the sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful day. The drawdown of the pond had begun the previous day and it was quite a sight to see the water pouring over the dam. The water had virtually no effect on the river and it was an easy, most enjoyable paddle with one "swimmer" who shall remain unnamed although the observation was made that "It was enough to make a minister cuss".
