Trip Report, Ribbit Run of the Frog, 4-12-14

Post by kru1 » Sun Apr 13, 2014 11:04 am

Ok so this trip was never posted before hand because we already had a full crew by Wednesday. In all there were 13 boats and 14 paddlers. Level was great around 2.75', and the weather was much better then the prediction; high 70s with plenty of sunshine. It was spring paddling at its finest with a lot of voluntary swims (and some not so voluntary) to cool off. The crew was a great mix of advanced paddlers and newcomers, with several personal first descents.

Enjoy,
