Oh boy, what a fun day of dragging the canoe down French Creek. Jen and I were ok but Donnie and Ray were having lots of trouble. At least we found out how low is too low 8^) They had an ok time after we switched partners to more evenly distribute the weight. Still, we won't be doing this section again when it's this low. | |
 | Donnie, Ray, Jen and me ready to shove off. Here's the first stop at the end of the "rapids". It is usually raging here. |
 |
 | Here we are relaxing at the end of the rapids still. This was a common sight before we switched partners. |
 |
 | Ray and Don not real thrilled about dragging the canoe. They have been spoiled with easy canoeing. Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. I told you it was shallow. |
 |
 | Here's a weird looking specimen. A leech of some kind. If anyone knows what species it is, please tell me. The bottom with the very obvious sucker. |
 |
 | Nice Cedar Waxwing specimen. It was fun to watch them flying around us and bomb diving at the water bugs. |  |
 | Another group shot. Don pitching shoes on some junk we found on the bank. |
 |
 | Hi hun. Notice how happy they are now that we've switched canoeing partners. |
