Re: Eagles and Icicles Float Trip, Sat Jan 31st

It was another successful E&I. We could have used more sun, only caught a glimpse it right at the end. However, the rain held off and it was in the mid 40s. Much better then the earlier prediction of 100% chance of rain and highs in the low 30s. This was my 5th year on E&I and I have never seen the water that low. With a few scrapes all of us got down the river just fine.
We started with 14 boats (4 of which were/are new boaters in the ACC) and ended with 10. We didn't loose them, they just came to primarily fish and once they found their hole, they stayed behind. I was ready to lead the shorter 4 mile float, but there was nearly a unanimous vote to float the 8 mile section so that is what most of did.
I promised icicles and we didn't see one, however, this is the first year that I saw eagles. I ended up seeing two and others saw 3 or 4. All and all it was a nice leisure float down the White River. Thanks to OMTC for hosting us in the am and providing doughnuts, coffee, and water on the float. Thanks also to Keagan for running shuttle.
Until next year,
