Livery mileage
"8 miles... would do the 11 miles"
At times K & C use liveries if available for shuttles since we are apt to be paddling alone. Mostly we have good service and we don't have a problem with the cost which (usually) seems to be fair.
My experience with the mileage given by the liverys though is to take it as only a rough estimate... especially if it is a popular river like the Mohigan. The paddling time given might be a better indication.
A couple of years ago we were on a weekend jaunt. Going through Loudonville we stopped at Loudonville canoe livery and had them haul our boats upstream for the 7 mile trip. Water was low and slow. We got back much sooner than expected. When I checked my GPS it was barely over 5 miles! They DID call it a 1.5 hour trip.
I later figured out that the liveries closer to the park all had 7 mile trips listed...so they had a 7 mile trip too! Competition beats accuracy.
