Beautiful Paddle
 
Thanks Mike for all your efforts setting up this paddle. Don't beat yourself up because things didn't go as planned and were beyond your control. Mark and I had a great time but had to get moving to get the critters done at home after a two hour drive. What a spectacular section of the Cuyahoga. We would love to go back on a less crowded day as this place should be a great habitat for birds. May see you at Lake Milton if Mark can get home early on Friday.

As always, we enjoyed the paddle on the upper Cuyahoga...and the company. Water level was about 2.1 ft which means plenty of water to paddle but not much current (not that this section ever has much current). After this 9-1/2 mile trip on mostly flatwater I expect that K & C weren't the only ones that felt like that they had a pretty long paddle. The extended lunch was un-expected but gave us some extra time to visit and by the time we got back out on the river most of the traffic was long gone. The Iron Horse remains the best place on the river to eat!

------Thanks to Mike for his work in leading and making the arrangements with Camp-Hi for this trip.------

Thank you to all who came.
We had 21 boats with 24 paddlers.
The river is so pretty and peaceful to paddle. I really do like this section and the last two miles adds some nice current and has the famous Hiram Rapids and the nice little rapid at Camp Hi.
The only downside was the extremely long wait at Iron Horse Saloon. I felt bad. They knew we were coming but they had 3 call offs.
We all stayed together up to lunch.
Due to the long wait we did split up, in waves.
I was in the last wave of TCT Members that were 9 boats
I hope everyone had fun and Kendra at Camp Hi said we are always welcome at Camp Hi.

We enjoyed the paddle as well, just wish we didn't have to get up so early the next morning, otherwise we would have stuck-it-out and floated the second half after lunch. The Camp Hi folks were very nice about giving me a lift back to my car from the Slow Horse. I hope to get back up there to finish the paddle.
