Got a PM concerning the wildlife refuge closure while we'll be paddling. True it is there and closed, yet the barges continue on....and so will we. First day after shuttling and getting permits we'll paddle from the Hwy 69 Bridge/Devils Elbow put-in up to the refuge and camp this side of it...next day we'll brave the barges (paddle between them [def. not between them on the water] and the refuge) and paddle around it.
I can never tell mileage on the map I've got but it looks like 6-7 miles to 'just this side' of the refuge and maybe 4-5 miles of paddling where we'll have to swing wide.
If anybody has better mileage guestimates post them up!
This means second day we should be going around the horn or getting close to it
