Itinerary description

Beautiful stretch of the river under near ideal conditions. It was right at flood stage (12.2 at Glenmora). Pardon the track back to the bridge but it does show the "shortcut" shuttle. Probably faster just to stay on the highway but this is more of an adventure.

Put-in at Reed's Br. Parking is pretty limited along the roadside.

At flood stage only the tops of the largest sandbars are exposed. We made good use of a few.

Look at us, casting shadows! Still a chill in the air but just a beautiful day.

At Hwy 26. Easy grassy slope. The access road had water across it but no real issues.
