Canoe trip complete

After 8 days on the river, captain red beard, Peter pan, red sox, Foon, legs and I have completed the nearly 100 mile canoe journey. Aside from the one capsize I mentioned earlier, no other canoe flips to be reported.

Most days we followed bald eagles, ospreys, and cranes up the river. Pretty cool sights, especially the eagles. There was one day where we had to of followed a bald eagle for 3-4 miles. It seemed almost like he was trying to show us which way to go. He would wait for us to get close then leap off his perch and soar about 500-1000 yards away. Can't say I've seen that before.

Capt Red Beard found an arrowhead one morning too. His giddy reaction reminded of a child on Christmas. But I guess it's deserved since he says he has been searching for them for over two years. After the find, he was on ultimate arrowhead lookout.

We conquered the class 3 rapid, Compton rapids, with ease. We are all fairly confident in out canoeing skills at this point and feel we are "guide ready". Well Peter pan should be since he was a canoe guide for 4 years.

All in all, a fantastic time, much like this entire journey has been so far. Great experiences with great people.

Heres some photos of our canoe crew:
