Contacts:   We camped at Tyler Bend Campground and then on the river. We used Wild Bill outfitters to shuttle our cars. It was very efficient
Report:   The highlight was spotting several eagles. This was a relaxed, leisure paddling trip with two young children and ten kid-friendly adults and one charming dog. We lucked out on the weather with two cloudy and three sunny days with good temps. Two hours after we got off the river, the heavens opened up with heavy downpour. Thanks two Rick Fleming whose quick response overted the one possible canoeing mishap.
