A nice evening paddle out on the river with JoJo. We were able to see some of the flood debris in the daylight. Its amazing how high the water got and what it left behind! Hogan Haake
A perfect day for a February float on the Meramec with our monthly Sunset Race. JoJo was coming with me and there was just a touch of snow on the ground. Ok, and maybe it was very cold outside!

We had a new participant for the Sunset Race this month, Kelly Kasten. She is a local SUP paddler, but we were happy to have her join us! Also along was Joe Sartori and JoJo. This month was more of a casual paddle than a race, and a good time! Hogan Haake
