[BOATERS] Wiscaaansin Chaaallenge Ten Rivers Expedition Details

[Bill Diedrich]

For the Pike, I recommend you put in at the curve on River Road (above 
Horseshoe) and take out at the county park before Yellow Bridge. Easier 
rapids if the water is high, about the same length of river, less grungy 
stuff in low water.
