Today we took the Flat River. We put in and took out at historic covered bridges: White's Bridge upriver, Fallasburg Bridge downriver. We took pup with us and my wife is ~ 6 months pregnant, so the easy-going nature of this paddle suited us perfectly today.
I can't believe I didn't think to snap a photo of the bridge we put in under. 
Shallow enough in several places for pup to stand and run on the bottom:
Heading downstream:
Somebody has a nice little hangout on the river:
Our dog has to be in front. The entire time. He can't stand it when he is even a few yards behind us and he whines like he thinks we are leaving him.
Pretty secluded stretch of river. I think we probably saw a total of 4 houses over the course of 2 hours:
Conifers and Deciduous trees growing together:
I don't know what this bird is, definitely a raptor of some sort. He didn't budge as we passed.
Zoom photo. Can anyone ID this fella? That is the best image I can get:
If you are starting to feel like this is less of a trip report and more me showing off my dog, well, you would be correct. FYI greatest dog ever. Maybe I'm biased:
Not a bad trip. I like to get at least 3 hours of paddling in if I go, but sometimes you only have a couple hours to get away. Always worth it.
