Kayak Camping and Thru-Paddle on the Little Miami River Ohio, Ep. 2, with a Surprise Guest!

Overnight kayak camping with hammocks with some great campfire cooking on the Little Miami River part 2. I picked up right where I left off at Glen Thompson State Reserve, aka Jacob's Landing, aka Eagle Pass Canoe Launch at US Rt. 35. Part two covers approximately 30 river miles to Mathers Mill ODNR Public Access. A surprise guest joins me at camp and for day 2 of this trip. Half of my thru-paddle is now complete. Two more nights and three more days will take place in part three to finish the river.

Part 3 of 3 of my Little Miami River thru-paddle to the Ohio River will be posted here when complete.
