On Sunday the 9th TCT tackled the Beaver River. After a rough shuttle we got on the water about 11:45 am. The first half of the trip was great, nice flow, beautiful scenery with a waterfall not far from the river and a great spot for lunch.
The Club from this point loss some members as we started out with 19 boats
(4 canoes & 15 kayaks). Some stopped at this point and other took advantage of water being up on the Connie. As Paul, Ron, Jonathan B, Cooper, & Denise made their second run down the Connie.
The Rest pushed on as the river got wider and lost all current with some tuff head winds we made it to the take out.
Five members did a side run after the main trip down the Connie as well. Debra, Matt B, Mike D, and to guest hit the Connie about 6 and was able to get our guest threw the Connie in a open canoe, which at times was tuff, but they were tuff and kept pushing forward as we got out a little past dark.
Over all a great rip and I can say the Connie got a lot of use by our members on side run on this day.
Will post pictures soon.
