Howling at the Moon!

On Friday night Up a Creek held it's second float under a full moon with a whopping 26 boats and 33 people on the water. What started as just a half dozen people in kayaks planning to paddle the Kaw on Friday night ballooned into 5 times that number in the past several days. Everyone was on the water by 8:30pm, right on schedule, and as the sun set behind us the glow sticks were cracked and the head lamps switched on.

Two sandbar breaks later we were rounding the confluence where the Delaware River meets the Kaw when we were greeted with some mortar rounds exploding into an array of colors overhead. Puppy, who couldn't join us for the float, hiked in to a sandbar with a backpack of fireworks, lit off the mortars and started a campfire - not a bad homecoming as we rounded out the last leg of the float.
