Talking Trip Review

What a perfect day we had on Beaver Creek. Temps in the 80's & good water level a 4.2 ft at Grimms Bridge USGS. I knew the condition's were perfect because Bob Danko paddled. He is very picky on conditions
We had 10 paddlers (8 Kayaks & 2 Canoes) Make the 11 mile trek down Beaver Creek.
It started out a little rough for bob as he flipped twice in the first two miles. The first one was he got stuck and got out and flipped as he got back in. The bridge at Sprucevale was still in sight; that's how soon it happened.
Thanks to Stan & JP for helping him the second time as he almost lost his glasses.
Once we got settle it was an easy ride rest of the day. Eagle rapid was alive with several different channels to get through it. Several of us portaged up for a second pass.
everyone made it through dead's man curve with no problems.

It was nice to see several other paddlers on our journey and to see the creek being used by many.

Great day on one of my favorite Creeks
Thanks to all who came
Mike Danko
