Trip Reports

Aug 22 - Challenges high up on the Manistee

Published on 8/22/2013
 
 
A 9AM meet-up at Burger King in Kalkaska and a reverse shuttle put us on the river at Deward North by 10:30.
Two hours later we lunched at Deward (the old "binoculars" put-in). By 3PM we reached the take-out at 612.
 
All the challenges came in the section before lunch, and it was smooth sailing thereafter. And, thanks to others
jumping out to give a push or a pull, I never even got my feet wet.
 
My favorite flower this time of year is now out in abundance. The delicate Grass of Parnassus flowers are white
with tiny green veins.
 
Mary Jane Emery, a newcomer to club paddles but not to kayaking, joined Angie and John, Bob, Jack, Tracie,
and me.
