What a great trip, Yes it was a little Chilly out but we all stayed warm.

Nine brave paddlers showed up. 4 Canoes & 4 Kayaks (But one canoe had two Paddlers-Canoes Win) Bruce & Diane, Jim Bozdog, Ron Ells & Myself Canoed. Jessica, Wayne, Stan & Jason kayaked.

The new launch is Great, and easy to use. The take out at Millennium is just as nice.
We paddled a little over 4 miles under two hours with one portage due to down tree.
Everyone worked together to make the portage easy.

A great first TCT trip of 2016

I highly recommend this section of the Shenango River

Mike Danko

Ps we missed you JP
