The planned kayak trip to Nine Mile Swamp had to be changed because beavers made a new impassable \u00a0dam a few hundred yards from the put in. In addition, the co-leader stood the group up. So the 10 paddlers, without a co-leader, adapted and \u00a0went to Leland Pond. After one loop around the upper pond the group split. Five paddlers took two more loops around the upper pond for a 4 mile total paddle. Four of the paddlers carried their kayaks across the road to explore the lower pond.<\/p>\n

One kayaker, Margaret, did an amazing limbo contortion to go under the very low bridge to get to the lower pond. It was a pleasant trip on calm waters on a hot day. Some stopped for ice cream and some had stronger refreshments after.<\/p>\n
