    Crossing the Atchafalaya

    By pack_admin | It's About the Journey | Comments are Closed | 17 January, 2010 | 0
    On January 4th, a small group from Lafayette (with friends from Salida, CO) set out to cross the Atchafalaya basin by canoe. We paddled the cuts, canals, bayous, sloughs and rivers for 3 days. Here’s a few photos of our journey:

    Boone and Becky headed down towards the ZigZag just downstream of Catahoula. Boone’s got his jacket on too!

    Stacey Scarce and Martin Arceneaux headed towards the Atchafalaya on a pipeline canal. Note Drew’s guitar in the back.

    Drew Landry playin’ some cold weather guitar. The group really enjoyed his folksy songs that seemed to fit right in with our surroundings in the Basin.

    Stacey and Martin paddling through a fishermans route deep in the heart of the Basin.

    Drew navigates his kayak through some tight spots.

    Our friends Rickie and Jon McManus from Salida, CO enjoying a very different surrounding from their home town.

    The group headed towards the takeout on the east side of the Basin early on day 3. Note the ominous clouds in the background.

    The rain caught up with us about 6 miles from the landing. It served to only make the Basin even more beautiful.
