We were half way between No Name and Kettle Mountain Rapid.Annie and Andrew from DC were nice too.

This can be deceiving because so much water comes in from the Cedar River downstream 9 miles from where we put-in. It was low on the upper section of this trip, but a beautiful sunny day.We had 4 rafts and a cataraft/shredder in our group, 7 people and two dogs.We traveled 9 of the 25 miles on Day 1 and camped at http://northcreekrafting.blogspot.com/2009/04/hudson-river-overnight-0416-1709.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (North Creek Rafting Company)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6862851508891455228.post-3197973364758085403Thu, 16 Apr 2009 03:18:00 +00002009-04-20T17:11:52.245-04:00These guys were scheduled to raft the Moose River, but it was too low (we need rain), so they decided to raft the Hudson instead.

The North Creek gauge read 7.0 feet when we got off the river. High water is so good you have to take it when it comes, even if it's only in the 40's! No guests today, Nate, Eric and Linc in a 13' raft and Eric Knierim guiding a 14' raft with some friends. Josh and Alehandro paddled his cataraft/shredder creation.

Our group today was 12 people who originally met in the Coast Guard academy so they weren't afraid to get cold or wet. These guys were scheduled to run the Moose, but the Moose came up to nearly 9 feet! All 12 of them decided on the Hudson and we had a great trip. The Hudson was running at 8 feet.

Hudson River at 7.0 feet and about 40 degrees. Lots of ice still on shore, but none in the river. Linc and Nate R-2'd a 13' raft and Noah, Eric Wolff, and Jim Sorensen took a 12' raft. Noah flipped his raft with a big hit at bus stop. We had them back together before we got to the island.http://northcreekrafting.blogspot.com/2009/04/hudson-river-rafting-trip-mon-33009.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (North Creek Rafting Company)
