Thank you for allowing many of us to re-post some of our photographic efforts.

Years ago we made a four hour canoe trip down this river in less than two hours since the current was running high and there were a number of small rapids. Didn't have to work very hard that day. Now it would be a long walk.Taken For Grantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763027485732267570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205118861048936895.post-69028131791719849382012-09-16T18:49:07.968-05:002012-09-16T18:49:07.968-05:00This "lil' river" is the Iowa River,...This "lil' river" is the Iowa River, one of the primer canoeing and kayaking rivers in the Midwest. The low water is a consequence of this summer's drought, the worst, according to locals, since some time in the 1950s. Crop yields will be poor.
