River #2 - Bass River

The Bass River is a 3.6-mile-long (5.8 km)^[2] stream in Ottawa County, Michigan. It flows into the Grand River.

• You can kayak it at night, it totally rocks!  (We will do this kind of adventure again!)
• "Lighting technology has changed a lot in 15 years" - Mitchem as he is blinded by $13 head lamps from Home Depot.
• Mitchem, Baker, Fogel, Clausing, and Dyk - Almost full moon, temperature in the 50's, a Pabama! adventure if ever there was one!
• We did start above river from the official river start (In Pabama! style), so we kayaked 4 miles in 3 hours, then 2 miles on the Grand to the car.  Launched at 9:25PM, reaching the Grand at 12:35AM, with a pull-out time of 1:10AM.   Whether in the woods, with the turkey's flying overhead, or jumping trees, or dragging your kayak through the woods, or slicing through the mirror-like Grand River by moonlight, night kayaking is amazing, we hope you can join us next time!
• There is nothing quite like raking your face across the bottom side of a fallen tree just to stay in that boat!
