Paddling the Cedar River

It was a beautiful day for a paddle.  Here are some of the group looking for the elusive entrance to the river.











Since we had a late start, we stopped at a campsite for lunch instead of going all the way to the lean-to.  It was a beautiful woodsy spot.














There were lots of these fruits among the plants along the sides of the river.  It is presumably a species of Sparganium, a branched bur-reed.














My right hip was quite sore by the time we left the lunch spot and W was very tired, so we turned around there instead of going all the way to the lean-to.  This is probably my last long paddle - 8 miles - of the season.  I can go about an hour, or about 3 miles, before I have to stop to rest.
