Goodes and Walls decide to float the Bark.\u00a0 Our original plan was to float the Upper Dells of the Wisconsin, but there’s been a lot of rain.\u00a0 Many areas of Wisconsin are flooded or under watch.\u00a0 We noted the water flow, measuring ominously at 6 times the mean, and the admonition in our “Rivers of Southern Wisconsin” that this section of the Wisconsin can be “dangerous at times”.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This, we said, could be one of those times.<\/p>\n

So the Bark River it was.\u00a0\u00a0 The wind was absolutely howling.\u00a0 When we dropped a bike at the take-out on the Rock River, waves a foot tall were being pushed upstream, creating the perfect illusion that the river had reversed course.\u00a0 We put in 6 miles above Ft. Atkinson.\u00a0 The float went well, although the Bark is wide enough to lack total protection from the wind.\u00a0 We were duly battered, the worst of it occurring in the last half a mile on the Rock, pushing directly against the gale.\u00a0 Kudos to Cathy, a newbie kayaker who braved the elements in fine fashion.<\/p>\n

Still, it was a good time, all in all.<\/p>\n
