What an absolutely beautiful day we had to begin our kayak on the Black River. With bright blue skies and very warm temperatures, it was the ideal day for 16 Tramps to paddle up the river.

When we reached the point where the rocks prevented us from advancing any further, we exited our boats, pulled them up into the woods (with a lot of effort and assistance from one another) and began to hike. The hike was short and not difficult but the reward was great.

We reached an area where we were able to scramble out on the rocks where we had our lunch. Some sat under the lonely tree for some shade while others scrambled on the rocks seeking out the ideal place to get in and get wet.

Once satiated, we packed up and hiked back to our boats. Again in true Tramp fashion whenever assistance was needed there was always a helping hand to be had.

After a leisurely paddle back and the cars were loaded we made our usual stop at Kratzy’s for a thirst aid.

Another fantastic day with fantastic friends.
