| October 2007: Weeklong Paddle Perrysville to Dresden |
Joe Hughes shows his approval of an inscription posted at what we commonly call "the tub landing," which is just downstream of Brinkhavenon the Mohican. We call it this because there is a spring there that flows into an old bathtub.
Joe and I paddled from Perrysville to Dresden on the Mohican, Walhonding and Muskingum rivers in mid October on the week of my 56th birthday.
I didn't get around to writing about this trip because I misplaced the notebook with my journal entries. And the dog ate my homework.
The best night of the trip was the last one, spent on an island between Conesville and Dresden on the Muskingum. There was a sunset that seemed to last for hours, evolving from cotton candy pink to deep purple. Or maybe we were having flashbacks. We were awakened in the morning by a helicopter hauling a huge I-beam to the Conesville power plant, where a new smokestack was in the works.
