June 27 Sturgeon River

Published on 6/27/2012

It was a gorgeous summer day to paddle down the Sturgeon River from Wolverine to Fisher Woods Road, afternoon temperatures were in the mid eighties.  So we didn’t mind getting a little wet while maneuvering in the fast water, around log jams; it was “refreshing”.  One person whose name rhymes with Dunk was “refreshed” more than others.  We were on the river for five hours which included a stop for lunch.  The caravan came to a halt a least a couple of times when John cleared logs or brush so that we could continue.  Damselflies, a delight to see along rivers, were the only insects noticeable. 

Thanks Lois and John for rescheduling this trip down the Sturgeon, it was the perfect day for it.
