Trip Reports

May 21 - first Upper Platte for the season from Veteran's Park to Deadstream

Published on 5/21/2013
 
 
marsh marigolds in bloom
high & fast so had to duck under low overhanging branches
"The Maze"
 
Paddling through the cedar swamp with Fred, Jocelyn, Harold, Bob B, Gerald & Susan.
Marv was sick, so Marlene stayed home.
We lucked out with the weather, no thunderstorms or rain as forecast, yea! The sun did come out as we finished our paddle.
The river was high & fast after last night's rain, so enjoyed more than usual by all.
I had not paddled with Harold, Gerald or Susan recently, so this was a great opportunity to share our experiences, during the paddle & at lunch afterwards, at the recently re-opened Platte River Inn in Honor!
