Distance Covered: 5.6 miles in a canoe
Time: 11:30 AM - 3:00 PM
It's my birthday! Kay agreed to rent a canoe and row down the Tuscarawas River in Massillon. It flows very near the towpath here, so we were able to view the towpath from the river. It was a hot and sunny day, but we were able to find many shady spots to pull the canoe into. We didn't see a great quantity of wildlife, but did see a merganser duck, some mallards with a single duckling (who flew away when they detected us, leaving the duckling to fend for itself.) We also saw and photographed a bird in a tree, which we later learned was an Eastern Kingbird. The GPS on my phone was malfunctioning, but we were so familiar with the trail here that most of the time we could tell where we were. We passed under the bridge at Highmill, and then the Route 21 bridge, one of our favorites. I got our at Route 21 to take pictures of Kay in the boat. I decided to stay out and race her to the finish. We tied. It was a fun day, and another different perspective on the trail.
