Yesterday the "Pierre Kayak Club" did another section of the Missouri River near Pierre. This time we tackled from Twin Bridges to DeGrey.

Not too much else to say about the trip. I have a few pictures of foliage, but mostly of Chuck and John. Not too much to see on this stretch.

Look at the "air" under John's boat.

The Big Mo is quite a contrast to the Split Rock cruise of earlier this month. I doesn't look like you had to "claw" your way through the shallows! The windy conditions remind me of that cruise we had on the Big Sioux near Flandreau this summer where we were facing stiff head winds and even whitecaps on the river.
ReplyDeleteThe wind out on the Missouri just never lets up. and unlike the trips on the Big Sioux or James where you are constantly changing direction, when you start out going into it out here, you never get a reprive. I revcall some pretty big waves on the Big Sioux during one of the Earth Day cruises, but it was at our backs almost as much as it was in our face.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great trip, but a bit of a test in perseverance.
