Full Moon River Paddle

Canoes and kayaks are welcome! The program should last two to three hours.
This is a family outing. Children are welcome. Bring some campfire food and join us for a pleasant evening on the river.
You may find this paddle to be a delightful hiatus from a sometimes busy holiday weekend. Weather permitting, we should have an easy, short paddle and a good time telling tales around the campfire.
Life jackets are MANDATORY and must be worm. A flashlight and a whistle are also good.
Rain, snow, heavy winds, floods, hail, and/or thick lava flows will cancel this program.
