Paddling the Horsefly River

Famous wave at Fast Eddy featuring new sandals

 We didn't make it out to the Horsefly River this year till late July, but we're making up for lost time.

One time Leo found a waterlogged man's wallet on the shore.  The next trip we found a pair of pink chest waders.  When Leo finally contacted the guy, he found out that he had been on the river with his wife in his drift boat.  He flipped on the Steps, a riverside ledge upstream from our usual put in and lost everything, including his fishing rods and his boat.  Fortunately, he and his wife were able to get to shore.  The chest waders belonged to his wife so we returned them.

The next time we went down the river we saw scraps of fiberglass caught up on rocks, and Mark saw a fishing rod on the bottom of the river.  He paddled back up but couldn't relocate it.

These pictures were taken last weekend when we paddled with our friends for their son's 17th birthday.
