Steve on ice, 1-1-05, Des Moines River at Sycamore Access
Careful with that canoe: 10 AM with 11 paddlers and 10 boats (1 canoe)
John on slippery lot at Sycamore Access
This was the slickest boat ramp we've ever slid on
Very carefully down to the water
One step at a time even with a play boat
Cars on ice as Bruce, Robin and Nate arrive
Nate has one layer on, more to go
John Terry is well-equipped, no more Mr. Wet Guy
Robin is the first female to join the New Year's paddle group since 1997
Nate demonstrates the kayak sprawl
Mounting up, 11 paddlers in 10 boats
John's new boat, he loves this stretch of river
We enjoyed the 2 trumpeter swans and eagles
Just below the dam, no rain yet
Saylorville spillway frothy with ice
