Kayak - Current River

 Kayak - Akers Ferry to Cedar Cove, Current River                            7.7 miles

We drove to Aker's Ferry to drop off shuttle vehicles and combine boats before heading to Cedar Cove River Access.  We put in and it was rainy, with a temperature of 66 degrees.  There were 18 of us and we all put on our rain gear.  The river looked pretty as it was a misty day and the mountains could be seen in the background through the fog.  It stayed like that for half of our paddle - a steady rain, but we never got cold.  We stopped at a waterfall and got out to take pictures.  That's when I first got cold.  We paddled a couple more miles and arrived at the TB hospital where there's an old abandoned hospital.  Patients long ago were brought here to be in the fresh air.  There's a spring just in front of the hospital with beautiful water rushing out that appears blue (that's from the limestone).  This is where we had a lunch break.  After lunch, the sun peeked out for short periods of time and the day never did get full sun.  It was a a great start to our week.
