So a little history on the LA river, which was described as beautiful paradise with abundant game. It still is, but our current situation is quite out of context for a group of Spanish explorers in 1781. I was able to kayak a 6 mile stretch of this river a few days ago. In the summer time it is filled with treated sewage water, which comes out quite warm and disgusting, and the flow was very shallow, in some places I had to get out and drag / push the kayak. I tried to film it but only got a few minutes before the film ran out. I was an excellent introductory experience, more scouting is needed to find the deepest and least rock filled water. More to come.
