Today we started by packing two 30ft canoes for a day trip. We took a group of students from Ole Miss through the flooded forests of island 63. Even though I have done this route a few times in the past week, it never gets old. Things are always changing on the river; something you saw on the river could be completely different the next day.
The river also feels like an escape from reality in a way. It feels like a completely different world when your on the water, and thats mainly because it is. There are so many hidden gems along the river, like a hidden cove with a perfect beach. Or a fallen tree that makes a great spot to eat lunch in the shade.
I have been paddling the same stretch of the river for the past two weeks now, and I still see something new everything I'm out there. I have one trip left this weekend before I go home, and I will be sure to take it all in before I'm gone.
