I have a good friend that has a house in Glen Arbor so we used to put in at his neighborhood beach and paddle out to the Manitous. One year the water was so high we paddled between the bow and stearn of the ship wreck. Wow, that was probably 11 or 12 years ago already.
The Northbound shipping lane runs thru there so watch out in the fog!

Paddling in Baja, Playa Santispac to be specific
Paddling the Huron River in Michigan in the Winter with my Brother
Under the big Arch on Pictured Rocks during Sunset, we ended up paddling back to the beach under the light of a full moon, both scary and surreal
Me and my niece out for her first paddle in Michigan
String Lake in Grand Teton National Park

You know, Pat, you really need to get out more and see the world.:sombrero
heavy sarcing)
I can't remember the name of the two "rapids" on the Huron but two time olympic white water slalom medalist Dana Chladek's father Stan used to hang gates there for her to train on when she was a youngster.
When we used to paddle it, we of course always referred to it as "The Mightly, Mighty Huron", more out of love than jest, but a bit of both.

T. Low, I was going to refer to it as The Mighty Huron as its what we all called it too, but I wasnt sure if anyone other than a Michigander would know what I was talking about :victory:
I know the area you're talking about with the rapids, although I've never paddled that section because I'm not as familiar with White Water as I am with longer expedition style of paddling
As for getting out more, You're right, I need to log some more miles in the Saddle:sombrero:
I've been doing some extensive research on the Missouri the past few months. I'm trying to figure out how long and if it's do-able for me to paddle the entire thing in one stretch, not over a few summers like most do it. I know I'd be up for it, but I'm trying to talk the wifey into it if you know what I mean. She's not too keen about living out a tent for months at a time with 20-40 mile paddle days, everyday...I cant figure out whats wrong with her:coffeedrink:

Here's a link to some canoeing videos. They're from a Basic River Canoeing/Intro to Whitewater Canoeing class at Red Rocks Community College, taught by Bill Haas with me assisting. The first videos are from the students first exposure to moving water on the South Fork of the South Platte River near Deckers, Colorado. The later videos are from the Upper Colorado River just upstream from Dotsero, in a class II rapid this past weekend.
