@thecreekcrawler3 күн бұрын
Typically a single access trip consist of putting in going up or downstream and paddling back to my launch. I usually look at google maps to ensure it’s not too crazy or tough to get back to my car if I go downstream. Upstream is a better option if you don’t know because you will atleast have the current to help you get back.
