Beginners for sure. We seem to follow the bounce off the bank to change direction book of paddling.

Bounce off the bank, get thrashed by brambles, bleed copiously into the canoe. Repeat as necessary.

I'm going to keep an eye open for my dad's paddle. I know it's the wrong river, but I'm going to look all the same.

Did you ever get back out there to look for it? I think we need to have a SAR trip to see if we can find it. We can be like Chuck Norris looking for prisoners of war in the swamps of 'Nam in Missing In Action.

Are we doing group meals or fend for yourself on this one?

Since I'm just driving in for sat night, I'm happy to grab supplies for a meal - maybe brats or burgers or something simple and tasty that we can cook on a fire. Other meals I'll let you all sort out since that'll only impact you.

Yeah I've been back twice but should go again now that the leaves are off the tree. Good excuse for a walk.

I'd just assume do group. Fend for yourself seems kinda silly in small groups. Brats, burgers, some cole slaw and tater salad would work for me.

Pending everything aligning with the wife and kids calendars I believe I'm in for saturday night. I'll let you all know definitely as the dates get closer.
