Kansas River Inventory

As part of my sabbatical from my employer this summer I have committed to paddling the Kansas River in its entirety -- 170 miles from Junction City to KCK -- and photograph and document each stretch in detail. I currently have 50 miles left to cover, but thought I would go ahead and post some images from the journey thus far.

Craig has paddled the majority of this adventure with me, including 3 days of paddling / camping at the onset.  We averaged 40 mile days coupled with exhausted nights.  Beautiful sandbars, rolling hills in the Kanza Prairie, and roaring campfires made for a more than enjoyable time on the water.

And some of our best friends and family joined us for an evening celebration at La Tropicana in North Lawrence after returning from the opening stretch from Junction City to Topeka. Many thanks to everyone who supported us in this endeavor. And Bear, we'll make sure you're along to float this stretch next time. 

Click on any of the photos above to see more from this trip. And more will no doubt follow after I knock out the last 50 miles.
