Day 3 of the journey is underway. Yesterday was a bit soggy, but the paddlers still had a great time! Thank you to Moosewood Creek Cafe for feeding all the paddlers a great breakfast and assuring they arrived at the River access on time to launch.

Here are a few sciences from this morning’s launch.
