Continuing their journey down the 52-mile long Los Angeles River, proving that it is navigable by boat, George Wolfe and a group of kayakers completed their second day. Starting at the Sepulveda dam, they boated down through Sherman Oaks, Studio City Toluca Lake, Burbank and down into Atwater Village and Los Feliz. Today, the group finishes their journey in Long Beach.
See photos from day one by LAist Photographer Tom Andrews and background on this weekend's trip.

Mud People! Cool!
I notice there's no mention of where exactly the tribe is. Likely a good thing. Funny too that they appear to be curious about the people and kayaks, but not the cameras.
It's heartwarming somehow to realize that a indigenous people might still exist along the Los Angeles river.
Seriously though, I'm happy to see that no one has been arrested or detained.
The mud girl is kind of cute. I wanna be her facebook friend.
the mud people were at/near the hyperion bridge.
i now know who has been putting those stickers all over town..
guess we will see if the movie ever gets released..
i walk there almost everyday...except saturday...and have never seen them (the mud people)....so i think they are gonna be hard to find.
they are definitely not living in the river...thats for sure
OK, hold it a sec'. First of all, I don't believe they finished this day in Long Beach (as the blurb says). Second, how the hell can they just go through the dam (isn't there someone monitoring the thing who would be alarmed by all those boaters)? Third, who the hell are these freakin' "mudpeople"? Sure, they're sort of cool-looking, but what's THEIR mission and how were they possibly connected to this boating expedition? And fourth, if that George Wolfe guy got injured on the river, doesn't that sort of prove that the river has some very real "safety concerns" and that people maybe shouldn't be on it. I mean, duh...
Rhodie, if you watched the news or read a newspaper you would see that this is a true story.
The Los Angeles Times covered this story with a link to these very photos.
Do you really think that people who go into rivers never get injured?
