The last week of June Ben and I paddled a portion of The Michigan Challenge: The Manistee 150 from Grayling MI to Manistee, about 158 miles. Emily drove us to Grayling and I actually got a little fly fishing in on the river the night before we began. The river is very beautiful, small, shallow and bendy at the beginning.
He was waiting just below the bridge when we started Wednesday morning and we paddled together for the day and into the next. My Spring Run, which is a sea kayak, did well in some of the tight turns and easily rode over many submerged trees.

| My good friends Jon &; Mae DeBruyn from Traverse City had been tracking us and surprised us on Thursday afternoon by meeting us at one of the bridges to cheer us on. The second night we camped on the Tippy Dam Pond and were treated to a beautiful sunset. |

After another night in Traverse City we rested on the long ride home. Ben did a video of our entire trip.
