The infection spreads: Sister bought her first canoe and we had to try it out. It works. Temp was nice and we had a great time. Canoe season has officially begun! Can't wait until next weekend. | |

 | Me, Jen, Lori and Dave ready to embark. It was quite a rapid flow, no paddling needed. |
 |
 | My sister's Coleman Ram-X 15 canoe. Our Old Town Discovery 169 canoe. |
 |
 | Shootin the BS at the first stop. Homemade wine, strawberry vodka slushies and beer to loosen the muscles. Interesting perspective. |
 |
 | Joking around with a quickie beer bong. Have to bring a bigger one with a tube next time. |
 |
 | The canoes. Us relaxing on the creek. |
 |
 | Nice to see open fields and farms rather than the crowded city. Interesting reflection off my paddle. |
 |
 | Coming up on the end just beyond the bridge. This guy was having a bad day. |
 |
 | Rt. 6N bridge over French Creek. This is the normal landing area pretty well submerged. |
 |
 | This is what happens after towing the canoes up the hill to the cars. The hill. |
 |
 | The ending shot, notice how we all stayed dry. The bridge from road level. |

We took a cruise over to the Union City Dam to see how full it was. I'd say it's pretty full. This is usually just a small trickle of a stream about 20 feet wide. |
