2:37 moving time, temperature 50 degrees!! River at 1.3 feet
We started a local FB page called 'Clarksville Kayaking Friends'. It was our intention to invite local paddlers and post paddles to make shuttling easier. Believe it or not, we're up to 82 members! But, we get very little response when we post a paddle. The few times we do get a response it is from our true FB friends and we could just as easily post on our own personal page that we're paddling so they could see it there. This page has been a puzzle to me. I'm not sure why people join it and should I keep it open?
Anyway, Beatrix and Kevin saw our post and joined us. We decided to meet at the Highway 70 bridge at 10:00. We've been definitely spoiled with weather because today at 10:00, it was 50degrees and if the temperature went up when we were in the water, it was only by a degree or two. The water felt warmer than the air so it was a paddle where we were all determined not to go in. If we had gone in, it would mean coming out to cold air! The river level was at 1.7 feet and in several places, our boats dragged on the bottom. It's always nice to paddle with the Murphys because we end up talking the whole way down the river. We had lunch at a small creek off of the river. We saw several blue herons along the way, or we did think it was possibly the same heron playing games with us!
