Here we are getting started.


Little Jack loves to paddle with his grandpa.


Xan finds his first beer can.


Jack finds his very first piece of river trash and is very excited. He blew his whistle.


Holly gets another one. Isn't this fun!


Xan finds some new wardrobe attire.


Heather is all smiles.


Chris is a real trooper.


David and Kelsey lead the way.


Jack plays SEESAW with grandpa on a gravel bar.


Cleanups are fun when you can swim too.


Ellen and Holly in a brand new BRCS canoe.


Our new grabbers work really well for this sort of cleanup.


Chris dumps some purple mystery juice away from the river at the end of the trip.


The six person (minus one) canoe carry technique. Someone has to take the picture.


End of the trip photo with Norm and his beloved Mitchell padde. Everyone had a great time.


David doing what he does best, securing the boats.


Our canoes enjoying the results of their work.


Thanks to everyone in the Martel family for making your family canoe
outing one that helped our NW Michigan rivers.
