The trip went pretty much as advertised. Jean did an excellent job of organizing the shuttle so we had a minimum of wasted time. We were on the water by about 9:30. The Crawfish was deeper than usual and was an great river for any skill level. The weather cooperated and, even though it was cloudy, there was no rain and it was comfortable paddling. We did follow a fairly large group of fellow paddlers downriver and that probably explains why we saw little wildlife. Alternatively, maybe we were just too busy chatting. We took out in Jefferson at about 12:00 after a very leisurely paddle downstream. I feel like everybody enjoyed the trip and also enjoyed the post paddle wrap up of brats, and beverages at my house. I really appreciate everyone’s support and thanks for bringing all the food.
