| Report: | First Wednesday trip of the year. For some people it was the first time on the water for the season. Day started out cool and overcast with the threat of rain. Everyone was properly dressed and eager to be on the river. Water was high but easy to paddle. More than half way into the trip the wind shifted to a warm southern breeze, the clouds lifted and the sun came out. Perfect ending to our first mid-week paddle. |
