Kayak Trip #38 Crystal River from the town of Rural to Parfreyville - 7/11/12

This is the second half of the Ding's Dock skiff trip that a lot of you have probably been on at some point or other. I hadn't done this since high school or college. The water was pretty shallow at the beginning, and we had lots of bottom scraping and "butt scratchers", but the ripples and small rapids made it a fun trip. And I chased a gray heron down the river for a quarter mile or better. Met some other folks with kayaks like ours, only theirs were brand new. They were just scouting places to go, so we gave them some advice. Turned out to be a very nice evening.
