Overnight River Trip

A group of guys and I decided to do an overnight camping trip along Pea River in South Alabama.  We put in at the bridge on 167 and floated down to the boat landing in Elba, AL.  I didn't get to take my canoe this time, but I hope I will have it ready for the next trip.  Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Stopped for a break and some fishing.

We had the boat loaded down.

More tents.

Supper included some potatoes and carrots with some rosemary.  Was planning on having fish with it, but didn't catch any big enough to eat.

For breakfast we had deer sausage and eggs.

For lunch we had burgers.

We had a good time.  Total trip was about 16 miles.  Left on a Friday afternoon and arrived in Elba at about 6:00 PM Saturday.  We are hoping to do this again soon.  The next trip may be about 25 miles long.  We will have to do a little more research to make sure that the river is passable on the upper stretch.
