River Trip

What a tripWe were dropped off of Friday afternoon and we knew we had a 45 minute hike just to get down to the river. Deann was kind and drove us to the drop off point.

We needed to make time
Friday evening didn't leave us a lot of time to find a camping spot besides we needed to make some milage on the river, and if you know anything about walking down a river that means hopping rocks and crossing the river just to be able to travel further down stream.
Catching fish
D.J. is really good at catching fish and he did most of the fishing. I would say he caught somewhere around 40 fish.
We planned to eat fish for a few meals put as it turns out we didn't bring enough food so we ate fish for 3 of the 6 meals on the river. I am not a fish eater but I must say the fish was not bad, I guess there is a difference when you are hungary.
What a canyon
When we got back I was talking to Tom about the trip and informing him about how hard traversing the river was and he says"oh yea thats the impassable canyon".
And I understood why, the canyon necks down to the width of the river plus just a little and there are boulders on the side of the river the size of houses that we had to get over or around.

We made it to the pick up point around 5 p.m. Sunday evening. I had never been on this kind of journey before. Even though it may have been one of the most roughest trips I have been on, I got more than I expected. When I figure out what that means I'll let you know.
