Actually, I'll be going solo unless my one buddy can make it. For
Thursday, by the time I get up there it will be late so I'll probably
get a campsite. And what's the general speed again - 1/2 hr per mile?
I'm sure I'll stop a lot to take in the scenery - no rush.

We would start at Milford and go to Smithfield beach typically, you can stretch it a little more....ask outfitter....here are some river maps.

The river moves rather well, you can do 10 miles without realizing it. No real white water though, just some sections with class I riffles. Actually there is another option people use......which would be to get a stationary campsite, and operate out of it doing day trips. There is a major put-in\takeout every 10 miles, if you have a partner for shuttle, you can do a different section each day, but it's more fun to get dropped off at the top and sefl support all the way down.
