| Harriet St. to Yellow Banks, 7/4//02 |
| 5 boats, 8 paddlers enjoyed the 4th of July on a scenic river with enough
water to be comfortable and enough sand bars to stop just about anywhere. Smoked
salmon, red foccacia bread, and peach muffins were enjoyed by all. |
| |
| We were shuttled, launched, and looking
forward to a scenic river float by 10 AM |
| Kathryn found some nice riffles
along the way |
| An hour in we parked on a sandbar
upstream from the eagle nest |
| Our happy
group, photo by Cynthia Bob, Ellen, Gerry, Kathryn, Deb, Henry, Margeaux |
| Bob and
Henry pose with the results of their cleanup (the real treasure is in leaving
the sandbar a better place) |
| Margeaux
discovers that a tethered kayak is hard to turn |
| An eagle was seen, this is the nest |
| Deb was quite
good at turning a sit-inside into a sit-on-top |
| Cynthia's
kids were great the whole 10 miles |
| Margeaux
was still smiling after 10 miles, Henry was practicing his "bug
intimidation" techniques |
| Our destination, the high yellow banks of
Yellow Banks Park |
| A short
movie of the activities on the sand bar |
