The first 10 days on the river have been great with moving water and some fabulous scenery. Wildlife is abundant with deer, moose, ducks, geese,muskrats, eagles and other raptors. The high banks and cliffs are unique and beautiful. Amos is handling lots of canoe time pretty well. At our stops he is swimming, chasing birds and exploring. It took me a few days to adjust to the pace and not think about where and how far. Enjoy the ride. Welcome back to the hobo life. The weather has been clear and cool. I have portaged 4 dams thus far and that is more effort than the hours canoeing.
