Adventures continue

Sunday 8-12-12.
  my buddy andy and i got in another new stretch of missouri river. from just above the i-435 bridge down to kaw point. most of the adventure was getting the boat in the water. had to do a little portage/drag/bushwhacking  just to get into the water... pics were shot with the waterproof cover on so most are dingy.

one of the many benefits of an aluminum boat.

small hill no.1 no problem...

portage
train, that's andy in the weeds.
one more small incline to get to the river...
i got that shirt for canoeing across the fine state of missouri, official river rat shirt now.
being that i invited andy to get a little river time in i should have been better prepared, at the last minute we decided to go "a little further" upstream to check out a few things along the way. turns out it was more like 8 river miles upstream, our original plan was t just do 10 miles.  not that big of a deal but we didn't get in the water till almost 7pm, so it got dark on us pretty quick. we made time to stop and smell the roses though...
stopping to check out cool shit
and have a smoke
