Twelve Miles of the Buffalo is a Little Much
We were treated by Scott and Lacey to another big breakfast this morning. It was fabulous.
After breakfast Mary took us up to Maumee Access and dropped us off with our two rafts from Sams Club.
After many hours of using a raft and watching Angela, Preston and Drew float the river in their life jackets I decided I would try it. Angela took over the raft and I floated about 5-6 in my life jacket. I received a few bruises from banging around on the rocks in the rapids but for the most part it is a great way to float the river if you are not in a hurry. It is much slower than using a raft.
I looked like a big straw hat floating down the river. That's about all you could see of me most of the time. It sure was a lot cooler than paddling a raft.
We did not get back to camp until it was almost dark. It was 11.8 miles from Maumee to our camp at Buffalo Point.
