Swarmers,

Miles 1 - 8 completed on 5/24. Good river conditions and weather, except when not having raingear for mid afternoon unexpected rain.

This section of the river was much more than I ever thought it could be. I expected a creek, but found a very beautiful and relatively easy to paddle river. See additional e-mails with other pictures.
