Made it to great falls

I guess the trip's over because it's going to be 5 degrees
Sun nite, and our boat can't get thru the shallow section anyways, so homeward bound tomorrow 😥

Hard to see but 5 otters swimming in river :)

Near great falls mt

Cappy says it was extravagant for me to bring my pink fleece bathrobe on a river trip.. But I'm cold!

Near cascade, mt

View from a few days ago when we were stranded because of wind. Saw 31 bighorn sheep tho, not a bad place. Cappy lost his hat tho :( 

Thanks to Dewey from Headhunters fly shop in Craig for the ride around Holter Dam!  We would really have been stuck.
Made it to cascade, mt. Stopping for a breather.

Thanks Mike for the rides getting us around 2 dams!! Yer awesome! We are so grateful :)

Sunset holter lake

Ron putting epoxy on boat, guess what? It's dry now! No more leaks

No service for last 5 days, stranded on parts of river from tornado headwinds. Made it to holter dam, now just have to find a way around.

Found this old tin house & gold pan in the forest while trying to escape the rain

Ron & me trying to stay warm in the rain

These clouds turned into a huge rainstorm that we got stuck in twice, wind & waves coming against us

Thank you Alan Kallio for all your help and the great stories :)

Got a ride around cayon ferry dam + a lot of other help from mike and Allen of caird boat shop, thanks SOOO much!! Turns out I had met Allen's ex at fiddle camp. Small world :) also turns out he has played a strad violin belonging to Sibelius years ago, but he said "it didn't sound that good" LOL maybe bc he doesn't really play.

Finally made it to canyon ferry dam after 5 days on the lake :)
