We had a great time on the river this weekend. It took a few minutes,
as usual, to settle in and feel comfortable, but soon we were more
looking at the scenery than worrying about turning turtle. There were a
few weirs and points of interest. I was surprised by the number of
gravel shoals. There was only a few times that I could not touch bottom
with the paddle. We saw some really large stripers and catfish, but no
sturgeon. I saw a few turtles and herons, but no snakes or mammals. We
stopped on shoals, found some mussels, and marveled at their size. We
were only on the river about 3 hours, but it was great-not too hot, not
too cold, very relaxing..no gasoline worries, no political discussions...just nature.
