Nice weather and weekends rarely coincide around here, but they did yesterday. So we flipped the skiff, dropped it on the trailer and headed up river to Stump lake. It is an old slough off the Illinois river surrounded by low flood plain and forests. The corps of Engineers has small dykes in places that you can portage over to get to other sloughs and eventually the Illinois.

Duncan Eifel and I improved our rowing and covered some distance. We pulled into an elaborate duck blind with a tin roof, a couple rooms and a dog kennel. We also found a rollover portage put in by the Illinois DNR. It was fun.
See the video below.
Rolling down the river!
