Peshtigo River
 | 19 miles away ...d I slipped off for a couple cocktails at the bar located within the resorts campus. Much to our surprise we saw ourselfs running First drop upon the bar television. Seems that one of the larger groups who were along on our noon trip had requested a video of their exploits be filmed. Now the whole world had proof of my paddling prowess. The next morning we packed our tent in the rain in preperation of driving home. As we checked out to leave the resort we discovered a bus load of patrons heading for the Menominee River. Thornton's also service this Big Water gem which flows out of Niagara Wi. And on down through the class IV water of the fabled Pier's Gorge. Suddenly we all wished we had more time. Oh well maybe next trip......
For anyone who is interested in rafting the Peshtigo or Menominee Rivers, I highly recommend the skilled and personal service offered by Thornton's staff. As one of the guides stated as we carried for the river, ''Skoboatin''!!!! For info on the Resort you may contact www. Thorntonsresort.com or phone... |
