In August, we go to Grimes Canoe Base and spend
the weekend traveling downriver through some
pretty fast spots as well as some great places to
swim. This is our group before we "hit"
the river.

We always get a safety briefing and warnings
about any dangerous places to avoid. Flotation
jackets are a must for everyone throughout the
day. Sure glad we didn't have to sleep in them.
About halfway through the trip, stopping for food
is a must. Wrapping lunch tightly and keeping it
in floatable waterproof bags makes a big
difference.
