Displayed times (last time: )

puffy white clouds over the forested hills and all of this reflected on the stiller water. We did not paddle much and spent the whole of the day on the river, even eating lunch in our canoes.

We took a smaller side channel for a bit and this required a bit of trickier paddling and we scrapped bottom in some of the shallower riffles. I'm glad that Werner had the helm.

The afternoon was hot, though the second a cloud covered the sun it turned cold. One thing you don't want to do around here is block someone's sunlight.
Saw another moose, She was grazing in some shallows in a side arm of the river.
Weather held good all day.

Lentil soup for supper, all excellent. A fine day!

Monday - 7/22

Woke to a pleasant morning. I'm struck by how much we take good weather for granted when we live indoors. Now it's something to be grateful for!.

Had pancakes for breakfast and there was some problem with the heat of the pan so the first few were... well... different. No one complained.

The day is a little cooler with high clouds giving some relief from the sun. There seem to be two temperatures here, too hot and too cold. If the sun is on you it's too hot, if anything at all blocks the sun it's immediately too cold.

The river is slower here and we paddled more today. Talked Thor into taking a stretch break today and he was willing. Saw a flock of Buffleheads, i wondered where they summered. Saw a black bear on a hillside and another cow moose with her calf. These two were ambling along the shore and paid no attention to us at all. Nice view.
Made camp in a forest today and there were more bugs. There are small flies and many more mosquities. My repellant works OK.
Pizza for supper! Very good!

Werner lives in a smaller city of about ...
