It was pretty liberating!

The self guided tour was on the river, but when all the tours went up river, I went solo down river. I only saw one other boat during the time I was out there. I went about 2 miles down, but meandered along the way looking out for wildlife and listening to the silence. It was pretty liberating! You need to be pretty good in a kayak to do this as the row back up river is harder and in my case I was alone for most of the time, but the experience was something I will remember for a very long time.
