Anything noteworthy?
We had gorgeous weather for the paddle, and reveled in the remote feeling of the river at the beginning and end of the trip. It took us only 2.5 hours, and for most of the trip, we had to be constantly alert for the twists and turns in the river, around downed trees. The water is rather shallow, and surprisingly warm. We spotted a large snapping turtle and also a duck with ten brand new ducklings!
