Another improptu solo overnight kayaking adventure on a 16 mile section of the Mad River from Eagle City Rd. to Spangler Road. After hiding my kayak in a cornfield on Eagle City Rd. I used an Uber to shuttle from Spangler Rd. back up to my kayak. In my haste I forgot a few a items and I was forced to stealth camp illegally due to improper planning ahead. Use the time stamps to jump ahead to the sections of the video that interest you most.
