Coquille River Paddle
A hardy group of geocaching friends braved the chilling morning hours to paddle over 10 miles of the lower Coquille River from Rocky Point to Riverton boat ramps.
Darren Drops threw the challenge out on Facebook and six others answered the call. Of course, the outing would not begin until breakfast was involved so the group met at Kozy Kitchen to start the day.
After shuttling a vehicle to Riverton boat ramp, we struck out from Rocky Point encountering a little chop but a nice incoming tide. We underestimated how long this excursion would take and experienced the changing tide during the final leg of the journey and were working pretty hard against an outgoing tide as we approached the Riverton boat ramp. We indeed were pretty tired but it was a fun outing!
