Lost in the Reeds

Lost in the Reeds, originally uploaded by jmharper.

Sunday's paddle didn't take us very far from the put-in, but far enough that we found ourselves in some interesting situations.

Jeff nevigated the group into a dead end with no turning space. So it was paddle backwards, or press on through the reeds. Ultimately, Jerry was able to find the way back to the creek, but not before doing the paddling equivalent of poling across a flat expanse of snow. Through the reeds, and the bugs, and more reeds, in foot deep water.
