4/21/2018 Hunters Bridge to Lytle Bay

Our first trip of the year.  Way over due–due to the bad weather we have had this spring (just more winter–no spring so far)  We did our cruise from Hunters Bridge and ended up at Lytle Bay 3 1/2 hours later.  as you can see, the winter wonderland was still present, but we were going to go, period.  The water temperature was a refreshing 44 degrees, so no one was interested in swimming.  The River Stage was rising at 6.2 feet when we started, and the air temperature slooooowly clawed its way to 54 degrees by the time we finished. We saw a couple of Eagles and Ducks, but little else.  We had a great day, we had been waiting too long.  Whatever the weather, we were going to make it a great day.

This bridge marks 7.75 miles, and is the only place to stop when the water is so high.
