Elk!


Sunday we floated the Elk River in Missouri. We floated from Kozy Kamp at the US Highway 71 bridge near Pineville to the Mt. Shira Public Access. The distance was 7.26 miles; the water was about 3.35 feet, clear and wonderful. The trip took 4 hours and 26 minutes. We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes paddling; the rest was spent messing around on the river. Our average speed was 1.6 MPH with sunny skies and temperatures in the 90s. Sixteen of us in seven canoes and two kayaks made the trip. The largest group of the summer! Zac and Sarah, Flip and Tait, Dug and Pablo, Melissa and Josh, Eric and Delia, Christopher and Christa, MIchael and Wes, Emilie and Abby.

Melissa, you did all the work, all I did was make a phone call and show up.
