Full Moon Float   *SOLD OUT*
Description:  Graduate/Pro Students only.  Spend a magical evening paddling the Mississippi River and enjoy fine dining in a unique and unparalleled natural setting.  Big Muddy Adventures will outfit us with everything we'll need for the evening and shuttle us to our put-in upstream. No paddling experience or special equipment is necessary, we've got you covered! Their boat captains will then guide you along the river in our extraordinary 29 foot voyageur canoes until you arrive at a beautiful and uninhabited river island just in time for sunset and the "magic hour". You'll have time to explore the beach, take a swim, search for arrowheads, spot eagles, or simply sit back and relax while a "campfire gourmet" dinner is being prepared for you. After dining around the campfire, you can enjoy sharing stories with your new river friends, stargazing and soaking up the light of the full moon before paddling home. Cost is $40.
