Yahara River--Stebbensville to Fulton

This was one of my most favorite rides ever.  The scenery was pretty and the current was swift but not too swift.  There was a fairly strong headwind but the current usually won and it was a pretty fast ride, 6 miles in an hour and 40 minutes.  (I'm pretty slow in general).  I got this route from the book Paddling Souther Wisconsin, which seems to be unavailable online.   It's newly revised so I'm surprised it's already unavailable.   I'm glad I got it when I did.

Here I am getting started.

 Here's the end of the route.  The river is pretty high and the current swift--for the Yahara.

I didn't see too many birds, maybe because it was so windy.
