Unfortunately, I did not have time to do the circumnavigation of island 63 today because we had to prep for a trip this weekend. Instead, I had the chance to do a 10 mile strip of the Sunflower River with Mark. But before that, River showed me around the basement of the shop, which flooded about two months ago.

After lunch, we took a canoe out on the Sunflower. 

We were able to catch a glimpse of a few deer running through the trees, as well as some beavers and turtles. Then we stopped for some much needed rice crispy treats along the way. I had a great time exploring the river today, and I can't wait to get back to it!
