DRAKES CREEK KY PADDLE



Off to Bowling Green Kentucky for the Saturday paddle. The BGKY paddle group, formed for less than a month, met on Drakes Creek for a leisurely 5 hour paddle on a shady cool stream. The five of us took our time exploring the creek, going upstream on the middle fork to see the ruins of a mill and its dam, taking turns choosing which way to go when we came to a riffle or a downed tree. We were lucky on the four downed trees that crossed the creek. Three completely covered the creek except for a few feet. The fourth one we found three different routes through it, with a few limbs in the face.
After four days with paddles and the longest one on the last day, a day of rest is in order.
