March 28 – Apr 3 (Sun – Sat): Jacksonville Journeys

Location: Jacksonville, FL area

Instructor/Guide: Rick Wiebush and Ashley Brown (if seven or more participants)

Cost: $795

This trip is my favorite due to the variety of venues available to us: everything from Cumberland Is. National Seashore with its wild horses and abandoned mansions, to paddling the serene St. Mary’s river with Georgia on one side and Florida on the other, to the Okefenokee Swamp, and to (once again) the stunning Silver Springs. As a bonus, we sometimes do an urban paddle, right down through the middle of Jacksonville!

So join Rick and Ashley for a fabulous trip at a great time of the year!

Like the other trips, staying in a group house is optional. Feel free to arrange your own type of housing (motel? airBNB?)

However, I gotta tell you, we usually get an oceanfront house on Amelia Island that is perfect for about 8 people.

The $795 course cost includes lunches each day, pick up/drop off at the airport (if flying), and guiding. If needed, we can transport your kayak (from/to Baltimore) for an additional $100.Trip cost does not include transportation to/from Jacksonville, most meals, any park entrance fees, your beer/wine/liquor, and other miscellaneous expenses.
