We made a detour this week to the Root River.\u00a0 The Black River is too low, but the Root is always just right.\u00a0 We had a gorgeous day with 80\u00b0temperature, but the water in the Root River is much cooler–due to the springs that keep it cool.\u00a0 The water temp was right at 68\u00b0, brisk but nice.\u00a0 We traveled 10.75 miles in 2 hours and 48 minutes with an average speed of 3.8 mph.\u00a0 Light speed!\u00a0 The River Stage was 4.5 near Houston and 9.4 at Rushford–perfect height.\u00a0 The rapids were just righ, not too low, but still exciting enough to keep your interest.\u00a0 All four of us enjoyed the trip.\u00a0 Our travelers for the day were:\u00a0 Bill and Teresa Peters, Art Fahey and me–a great crew.<\/p>\n

Wildlife for the day was dozens of Canadian Geese, 1 Eagle close up sitting just above the big Eagles nest, that you can see just below the Eagle in the picture.\u00a0 A few deer, and lots of Butterflies for Teresa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOTE:\u00a0 IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS AS A SLIDESHOW–JUST CLICK ON ANY PICTURE, AND IT WILL ENLARGE AND THEN JUST SCROLL THROUGH THE SHOW USING THE ARROW “KEYS”.\u00a0 ENJOY.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
