The Great Journey

"The Big Trip". That's what we're calling it in Riverbluff. Over the years, many of us in the League have canoed and kayaked hundreds of miles of the St. Johns River. We have traveled to remote, secret places, and covered great distances faster than most would believe. But "The Big Trip" is the ultimate test. It is the ultimate journey; a trip across the entire St. Johns River, from the shores of Blue Cypress Lake to the beaches of Jacksonville. I have never felt this way about any other trip before; I feel like it is something that I have to do, like all the years I have spent canoeing and kayaking have all been for this single journey. Is that weird?
All this time, the Riverbluff League has strived to instill a deep respect for the River, and also to find others that share in our desire to be out on the water. This trip could be our chance to do both. For David and I, this trip is not only a personal challenge, but also a golden opportunity to speak to people, young and old, about what a precious gift we have in our St. Johns River.
As of right now, David and I are really beginning to bring in all of the supplies we need from others in the League. We are borrowing the two fastest kayaks in all of the neighborhoods, and are being lent a GPS by someone else. Things are slowly coming together.
