[BOBK]

Johnathan, Brad, VP Mike, and myself paddled the West Fork of Beaver Creek. The conditions were excellent, water was flowing fast enough to make the 12 mile trip seem shorter. Along the way we encountered a Bald Eagle, a flock of 12 or 15 Blue Herons nesting, Deer crossing the river, Geese, Ducks, a Beaver, some angry Horses, a Black Lab, and a plastic Pink Flamingo. We only had to portage around a single fallen tree. There was a Dam right where JP said it would be, but we went right over it. Or maybe I should say we went through it. Our thanks to JP for a great suggestion of where to paddle, ( you would have enjoyed it.) And thanks to Johnathan for arranging an excellent paddle.
