Kayaking- Current River

 The day started with an unexpected pleasure - wild horses strolled through our campsites!

We put in at Cedar Grove and paddled to Akers Ferry, covering about 8 miles. The river starts out fairly narrow with a few twists and turns, but nothing too challenging—just a smooth, enjoyable float.

We had a big group today—25 people in total—and remarkably, no one flipped. The weather was perfect, and we were even lucky enough to spot a bald eagle soaring overhead.

We usually stop at Welch Springs for lunch, but today that wasn’t an option—trees and mud were blocking the entrance. Instead, we found a nice sandbar directly across from Welch Springs and had our lunch break there.

As always, getting everyone shuttled back and forth in cars was a bit of a logistical puzzle, and there was the usual reshuffling at the end of the trip. But eventually, we all made it back to camp.

We ended the day with a relaxing evening, sitting around and chatting with Lauren and Liz—another great day on the river.
