Paddling Trip ; Sat. May 9th Heading for Big Walnut Creek near North Salem,IN. Leave Rich's Restaurant in Ogden at 9AM 11 miles on River go under 3 Covered Bridges

[Mike Metz]

To All,    Big Walnut looks good for tomorrow. We are going, haven't been there in about 4years. One of our favorites in Indiana. No beginners please, but novices on up should be qualified for this fast creek. We have seen herds of soft shelled turtles on this creek sliding into the water. Almost any kind of water and woodland birds can be seen also. With the trees bushes, and flowers blooming, this will be a very scenic paddle. If you need a boat please let us know by 7 AM Sat May 9.   Please arrive at Rich's a few minutes before 9 so we can get a head count. As usual Anja and I will be there around 8AM if you care to join us for breakfast.  Hope to see some of you there.       Mike & Anja Metz
