This last weekend was a picture perfect example of glorious
Northwoods weather for late August: not a cloud in the sky, a
nice breeze at the back, and the foliage of the forest in full
bloom, with little hints of autumn color in the sprinkling of
maples along the river... The Menominee River was the definition
of a Klassic Kosir's Class IV sun-run, with the levels pumping
up around 2000cfs. Kim & The Boys were busy guiding rafts
OVER Volkswagen Rock for a SMAASH into Hell's Hole, and Air Ronny
was at it again, flying thru the air with the greatest of ease...
The Peshtigo was quite a workout for us funyakers. The first
third of the trip was very technical a.k.a. lots of rocks! The
fun we had playing around at First Drop made up for it, and the
Class III section of rapids was a challenge still! Good job,
Jonesy!... What perfect weather to enjoy the outdoors on a quiet
tube float or Sit-on-top kayak trip just downstream of our campgrounds
-- lots of folks were here to do that too... What will the rivers
be like for Labor Day? Will it be nice camping weather? There's
wetstuff in the forecast for us during the week - will it help
raise the Pesh for Saturday's trips? Check back here Thursday
for my final regular season Weather/Waterlevel Guesstimates for
the upcoming holiday weekend, and remember:
