Chipola River
Saturday, October 4 2008

 

Peacock Bridge to Lamb Eddy Landing in Calhoun County.  The water level is low enough that "Look and Tremble" ( or "Look and Trimble" as some historical sources name it) will be fun. 
 
 The water is clear and there are many little rapids and shoals to scoot over. It is approximately a 10 mile paddle, downstream and considered an easy paddle. All lengths of boats are appropriate. There will be little to impede our progress in terms of downfall, or overhanging obstructions.  It is a good idea to stay out of overhanging branches because of the black wasps nests, although they are not particularly agressive.
 
Meet at McDonald's Restaurant at 8:30 CT (that means 9:30 ET) for the shuttle to Peacock Bridge.
 
Be sure to gas up, bring a lunch, snacks, water, your PDF, sunscreen and other necessary items for 5 hours on the Chipola River.
 
Please contact Frances Stone ffstone@hotmail.com or 850-482-4480 (Home) or (850-209-4575 Cell which will only be turned on the day of the paddle). See you on the river!
