We wanted to do a day paddle on the Dease River. We found out from the parks operator that there's a road that leads from Boya Lake to the Dease River. Mark and Leah decided not to paddle so they drove us to the Putin.
Getting ready to put in.
And we're off.
We paddled 46 km to the next takeout at French Creek Recreation Site. It took us 5-1/2 hours.
Spent the day catching up to the Davidsons in our pokey inflateable
The river was mostly flat and uneventful, but it was great to be back on the river.
We didn't see much wildlife, 2 otters, an eagle, kingfishers, spotted sandpiper and swallows.
Lunch on a gravel bar. Glen is checking his GPS not his cellphone. No coverage here.
Mark and Leah picked us up at French Creek. We hadn't checked the takeout ahead of time so there's always a worry you'll float by without seeing it, but it was obvious.
We were all feeling our age. We were exhausted after a full day of paddling.
