4th of July the Blue River!

89 and sunny! Let's spend Independence Day on one of the prettiest rivers in Indiana.

THE PLAN:

We'll meet at Rothrock Mill public access. We'll unload our gear here and then run the shuttle. Once the logistics have been taken care of, we'll start our paddle down one of the most beautiful sections of river in Indiana.
We commonly see eagles, Great Blue heron, hawks, deer, cormorants, and various ducks and geese. Others have seen beaver and otter (I haven't been that lucky yet) There are also tall rocky cliffs along this section of the Blue. Along with the views, we'll enjoy the company of some pretty cool people. We generally stop on a gravel bar for lunch around 11:00am or so. There is some great rockhounding along this stretch of the river (if you're into that sort of thing).

This is a 10 mile paddle to Blue Chapel. There are some slow spots that you will have to paddle through and there will be a few spots where the water moves pretty quickly and can be a little winding. As always, please know your abilities before joining in. If you have any questions, ask me.

It's going to be HOT. There is little to NO OVERHEAD COVER. The SUN and DEHYDRATION are important factors that need to be considered. Please consider them and take appropriate action (water, sunblock, hat, etc.).

This is a FREE event. If you need a rental, please contact me.

Afterwards, we'll be heading over to try out El Nopalito Mexican restaurant in Corydon.

If there are any questions, post 'em up in the comment section, send me a message, or give me a call.

I hope to see a bunch of you out there!
