There are 4 of us paddling together, Dan, Toby, Charlie and myself. We found a great place to camp about 4 miles up the Huron River, nice spot even had a fire pit.
-
The paddle up the Huron should prove interesting as there is significant current and lots of bridge pilings to negotiate. We plan on putting on some miles today and paddling well into the evening as a cold front is moving in and it may be slow going tomorrow.
-
The fun begins as we start the first of many portages, everyone has carts, so it should be very efficient as we work together to make forward progress.
-
It appears that Toby has been hanging around with Bob Bradford and it shows. Toby is a really strong paddler you'd never know he has only been paddling a short while.

I was just informed that Larry Hoff is participating in the UHH 2009. He is about 6 miles a head of the group of 4 and John Holmes in the kayak is not far behind Larry. You can get more information on the UHH at Larry's website and blog at: http://www.lhoff.com/
