It's nice to see you raising awareness of the state of the Cedar. It has been used as an open sewer for too long.

very cool video. I live in austin and have canoed into iowa a few times. it really sucks when the water is low...have to get out and push/pull the canoe a few times. See some interesting stuff from the floods...I saw a television lodged up in a tree once haha. you do any fishing on your trips?
