Pictures and Update

Thanks to John Wenck for organizing his great pictures of the trip and making them available. The link is: http://www.riverstewards.org/tactrip/ Here's my favorite image from John's collection. Al and I got a call this evening from Carol Larson at the Bed & Breakfast in Stratford. She was concerned that everyone was safe. Wayne and Carol did go to Kalo and meet with Rick Rummel, our river friend. Since Rick does not have Internet access, Carol asked for us to help send files to her for him or we offered a CD with this blog and the Paddling Iowa trip report. It is great to see the wonderful folks that we met on the river connect together. The latest Cedar River report is that the water is still rising and will crest Tuesday night. It will be highest in record by 3ft and folks are evacuating and sandbagging. Al added canoe transportation for a father concerned about his daughter to his sandbagging of the last two days. Life continues to be interesting.
