A ducky is also a great shuttle vehicle. After dropping the raft trip off at the put-in, I park the bus at the take-out spot. North Creek is just another 5 miles downstream, so Ellie and I float home and avoid the need for a second vehicle. It's the next best thing to running the Gorge today.
Ellie loves the river.
We came upon Tom Sawyer's raft.
The river is very relaxing to Ellie.
