It was pushing 90 degrees with hoo/hoo humidity, but I took my first solo paddle of the summer , The river was just a bit low, I did get slightly hung up twice, but for the most part it was a beautiful paddle. Very nice to be back to paddling. I like the Pine River the best, just out of Florence about 8 miles, on County Road N, it's an Oxbow and easy in and out. I usually see a bit of wildlife... today a couple of dragonflies hitchhiked along with me; saw several groupings of iris which are believed to have been planted by early French explorers, the fleur de lis; also quite a grouping of forget-me-nots just before the takeout. This would have been an easy river for the early explorers, a relief from rivers with more rapids and no portaging. One duck did fly over me as well, but no eagles today.
