Detroit Chapter - Huron River Canoe Trip

I rolled into the village of Dexter, MI through patches of rain and overcast skies after driving up from Carmel, IN. Doug Jackson was standing at the end of his driveway with an orange traffic vest and walkie talkies to assist me with backing my rig onto his driveway. As it turns out, we didn't block any traffic and the trailer tucked nicely next to the garage.

The next morning we loaded the canoe and kayaks, met up with about 20 others from the Detroit Chapter and headed for the river. Ten boats hit the water, 8 canoes, a double kayak and myself in a single kayak.

It was a beautiful sunny day, high of 66F and 8 miles of cool refreshing water. Mostly calm water with a few riffles and some overhanging branches kept things interesting. Check out the video.
