Hi Joe – sorry I didn’t reply sooner. My schedule has gotten messed up this past week & next week with last-minute work travel. Now I’m not available for an overnight until 10/23 🙁
Hi all –
Possible itinerary for Mississippi overnight:
– launch from Foley Access mile 245.0 & leave vehicles there
– day 1, paddle 11 miles to Cuivre Island & camp at site 26-1 (near mile 236)
– day 2, paddle 16 miles to Perry Island & camp at site 26-9 (mile 220)
– day 3, paddle 18.3 miles and take out at Ellis Bay (mile 201.7)
– possible alternative would be to take out at the Alton Marina depending on parking (I emailed the above to Craig Heaton for advice but haven’t heard back.)I paddled from STL to St. Gen a few years ago with a small group. Drove down to St. Gen the night before launch to drop off cars. We launched from the Meramec at the put-in near Dickerman Ct.
I am interested in a weekday paddle on either of those. Hermann to New Haven is a nice, easy afternoon paddle, same for NH to Washington. Paddlestop used to run a shuttle on the MO and I’ve paddled both of those using it. I’ve asked several paddlers about camping on the MO and the advice I continually receive is that the MO doesn’t have good camping sites, and they recommend the Mississippi. I’d love to do a Miss. overnight!
I can’t join. Replied above but posting again to help ensure you see my response. I’ll also reply on FB. Sad to miss this one 🙁
Thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately I can’t join this weekend (in-law bday gathering) but hope to participate in the next outing. Thank you again!
