Trip Reports

Tuesday on the Boardman

Published on 8/20/2013
We ran the last section of the Boardman with a "new" trip host. Tracie has stepped in for Mike C since he is too swamped at work to sneak away for an afternoon paddle until probably September. We met at Brown Bridge Landing, ran the shuttle and headed out on the river. We (Kate, Kathy, Dan & Tracie) had a pleasant paddle all in kayaks....What kind you may ask??? Well.... blue ones & red ones of course! We organized ourselves very well too, the two blue boats and the two red boats paddled together. The red in the lead with the blue close behind. We enjoyed a leisurely stop at Shumsky for a snack rest, where the "facilities" were in top notch shape, the trash can was being used, with no garbage spotted in the parking lot and amazingly, few people at the landing when we arrived. We finished up the trip at Beitner where we noticed a very nice new picnic table had been placed courtesy of the BRBC.
