Kayaking Michigan's Pere Marquette River

On our free day, our Volunteer Vacation crew from the American Hiking Society was treated to a nine mile paddle down Michigan's lovely Pere Marquette River.

The water was flowing swiftly, so we had to carefully avoid obstructions and occasionally get ourselves off gravel bars.

The land in many areas was privately owned and some very impressive homes were passed, but quite a bit of the paddle was through pristine wilderness and we all enjoyed the solitude and beauty.

Here's the group...
