Topic: Going back!!!!!!!Upper Mississipi- Friday

[jforbesca]

I have done this section and there is one really cool rapid that I would like to do again.
As we discussed there are two put-ins - the long one on the lake and
the short one which is dependent on access.

The long one does have a lot of flat water to start out on.
Bill comment on the flat water once the rapids start.

I will see what the impact of taking Friday off is - will let you know Thur.

Jim,

There appears to be a lot of flat water (see below)! 2 km from the put-in (below some waterfall?) to the beginning of rapids, then 1.5 km to get to the take-out. In comparison, the distance between McKoy's and Iron Ring is 2.5 km. Is it worth it in between? Bill, Jim, have you run this section before?
