Took a little trip down the MCR tonight with Dale and Rob. We had to wait for Dale to finish rounding up some piggies on the river! Utica has a fair going on tonight and had a 'pig race' which was basically dumping a bunch of platic pigs into the river from the road North of M-59 down to M-59. After that I went and got the 'short bus' and not only rode it but drove it! Took it back to Heritage for Jerry to load up with canoes from the day,(they carried 7 canoes on his set of wheels!) then we headed up to Ryan for our put in. Was happy to find a 'Pot of Gold' at the park, if you know what I mean then you know what I mean! On "river left" as we were just starting, there was a guy sitting with his "pet" raccoon! Said it was an orphan and it hangs in his yard and with him, he takes it to the river every day! I told him to take it to the zoo, he said he did that and they had so much fun they are going to the movies tomorrow! LOL!
It was a pleasant trip down the river today, started off hot and sunny and the thunder clouds built up as we went down the river to Van Dyke. Had a few short stops for supplies and the weather started cooling off as we made our way down. By the time we ended up in Heritage and got loaded, it was starting to rain. It actually came down pretty steady, we all left the park as it started to get dark.
Another nice day on the river!
