'The Legend'

The take-out walk.

"2.75 is too low" so they say.

Full days story to come shortly...OK so here's the story...I show up at the put-in with Mollie in tow and am contemplating my second run on Hubbard. I have decided that I will only do the second run of two that everyone is planning. This should be a two hour run with portages/scouting for wood and I was waiting at the take-out for 3.5hrs when they finally started walking down the road for the cars. The reason it took so long is it almost turned into a hike instead of a float. Lots of scraping and pulling through some parts. So nobody was intrested in a second run, nor did anyone now have the time necessary. So...till another day.
