Got myself dunked yesterday (2nd) when kayak turned over mid way down Juniper run. Creek was surging from the rain, pretty much a challange for an old dude. Luckily, had a cabin with good heat and it didnt kill me, camping, I would have just died. I'm on your side, live to fight another day. Smart move not going north, It is gonna be cold, way cold.
Did you see the new Jesup Bridge, huh, huh? Is that cool or what? All of the old causway is gone, and the river will be able to flow back into the lake next time we have a storm. Give a shout next time you are out in that area and we will send a contingent to greet you with some goodies. Is the league really open to geezers?
you bet it's open to "geezers"! But if you're still having adventures like you one you described above, I wouldn't give you such a label :) We did see the new bridge; pretty cool. We'll give you a holler next time!
The Riverbluff League is a network of canoeing, kayaking, and camping enthusiasts along the St. Johns River. The goals of the League are not only to explore the River, but also to instill a deep appreciation and respect for it.
The terms for becoming a part of the League are simple. 1) The League allows no drugs, alcohol or firearms to be taken on trips at any time. 2) You must leave a campsite as you found it or better, leaving no trash and respecting your surroundings. 3) You must have access to at least one canoe or kayak. 4) You must live on or within ten miles of the St. Johns or a water body that eventually flows into it.
If you meet these requirements, you are eligable to join the Riverbluff League. Email us!
