    Description – We will begin our excursion at the Rte. 422 entrance point and cruise down the river. It’s a mostly gentle paddle in pristine wilderness conditions. We will see lots of flowers and there’s a good chance we could even see a bald eagle. As we progress, we come to the narrows, a place where the river narrows and picks up speed. Just past that we come to the Hiram Rapids Bridge and below that we encounter the Class I Hiram Rapids. These rapids will bounce you around and give some excitement. Just after that we arrive back at Camp Hi. The overall trip is about 5 miles and will take two hours at a leisurely pace. If you want a longer trip you can paddle upstream from Rte. 422.
    After we’re done we’ll get together at Blazin’ Bills’ new location at around 2 PM. The new address is 17800 Great Lakes Parkway, which is only about a block away from their old location.
