Meet at 3pm at Quapaw headquarters 289 Sunflower Avenue in downtown Clarksdale gear up, and then shuttle to Montezuma Landing, which is directly above Friars Point. We’ll paddle by the last light of day to Island 61 where we’ll make supper and watch the sun set over the waters of Old Town Bend. Shortly thereafter we’ll witness moonrise over the main channel of the Mississippi as it makes the turbulent escapade below Kangaroo Point. After supper, we’ll push off into the shimmering waters of the river, the darkness of the boils highlighted by shining whirl lines, boil lines, and moon reflections. By moonlight we’ll paddle around Old Town Bend, and then silently slip in between Is. 62 and 63. Sometime around midnight we’ll cut into the channel below Island 63 and meet our shuttle driver Ellis Coleman “Mr. Smooth Dancer” at Quapaw Landing. | ||
