Knocked one off the bucket list this weekend.  Four of us rented kayaks and made the run from Horseshoe Bend to Jay Bird on Saturday.  Since there hasn't been much rain the past week or so, there is minimal release from upstream, so the flow was down quite a bit from just a few weeks ago.  Anyway, hit the water around 9 at HB.  A good bit of paddeling, several hang ups and a few neat rapids.  Saw two eagles and other assorted wildlife.  One member of our group brought a pole and caught three fish on the way down.  Got to JB around 12:30 so approx 3 1/2 hours for the trip.  Could have made it faster but we stopped a few times.  Anyway, great fun and we will certainly do it again in the future.
