Well it was a great 4th. My hometown river the Moodna creek was up and I got the call from my brother that a trip was needed. We ran it twice and enjoyed the new features created by hurricane Irene. Probably 3-4 solid class 3 rapids and nonstop excitement in-between. Friday had me driving for the main event, a float on the historical Susquehanna river. I put in and did 6 miles to an island campsite. Next day was close to 30 miles on the canoe. The river was around 7' high and has a minimum of 3' to float. Rogue and I saw about a dozen bald eagles and various other birds. Yes rogue did jump out of the boat in pursuit but it proved futile. She slept well at night. I finished the float on day 3 at Marysville pa by passing the statue of liberty tribute and class 2 rapid. I would suggest the trip to anyone interested in island camping and someone immune to poison ivy. Great trip and even better history lesson about anything from canals to ferries. Next is the Delaware over thanksgiving. Just let me know if anyone interested. ill work on some pictures of the trip but email me at
