We in the third were unable to upright it before it became lodged between two trees with the current making it impossible to free it. We were able to recover the two boys and rejoin with the first canoe which had continued on downstream. Long and short of our adventure we all made it to Morrow Mtn State Park in about 5 hours time in two canoes (11:30 AM - 4:30 PM).

The water was now some four to five feet lower clearing the bridge. With much of the pressure of the current on the canoe now gone we were able to free it and get it out of the river. With all the extra rain of this year the river... |
