This spring was very different than I'm use to. Usually when the warmer temps come, I'm headed to L'Anse first thing in the morning. Really, first thing, like 4am. Its hard to sleep when you haven't paddled all winter and some of the coolest whitewater in the Midwest is running. But what happened this year was different, a slow warm up lead some of us paddlers to the Mellen area to check off some rare treats like the Potato and Bad River Canyon through Copper Falls State Park. Overall, I was stoked to have run some new whitewater this spring, and I got on the water several times, back to back. Its not over yet, still looking forward to more Wisconsin and U.P. action (maybe even Minnesota...) before the summertime puts most of the creeks back into hibernation.
