Ran Hwy 136 to Hwy 9 (River Park) with the kids in my We-no-nah Prospector 15.5'. Water level was around 120 cfs. Took 3 hrs at a leisurely pace. Several downed trees to deal with. One that we pulled the canoe over with the two 3 yr olds still in the boat (probably 8' of log above water). One spot with 2 logs about 3 ft apart 10' above the water that required a boat exit of all members (the kids seemed to like that). Later, we got to see 3 cows in the river with lots more on river right. I reminded the kids why you don't want to drink the water... ;) All in all, a good trip, but would be nice if someone could clear those trees. We saw GK carved into a downed tree that had been cleared (Georgia Kayaker). I remember seeing Richard clearing trees last fall in this section. Time for another clearing trip! ;)
