Paddling Newport River, Wednesday, February 16, 2005
Paddling Wednesday, February 16, 2005. We are going with the forecast that says 68 degrees and mild and partly sunny.
We will put in at the Public Access on Radio Island This is the very first left coming off the high rise bridge from Morehead going east at the east end of the high rise bridge on Route 70 like we did last week.
We will paddle up to and explore the old chimney we saw on the island in the middle of Newport River and which we were all so intrgued with. We will then head west for Calico Bay and Crab Point Bay and then up around Crab Point and over to Lawson Point where we will take out at the end of Crab Point Loop Road which is off of Country Club Road where it makes the sharp bend to the west.
You can also get there by going out 20th street and turn left on Country Club Road and then right on Crab Point Loop Road at that same sharp bend in Country Club.
We will meet at MCDonalds in Cypress Bay Shopping Center. This is the big shopping center just before and between the junction Rte 70 and 24. Will meet and leave at 9:30. If you are going to eat here please be ready to leave at 9:30. We will set up the shuttle and then go to the put-in.
We should be off the river by 3:00. Bob Wendel's pictures of last week's paddle.
