I'm jealous. Next year, I'm staying the whole weekend! I had fun with you folk on saturday though. Glad you found Bill's skirt.

Bill's skirt was found in the Dej Black Hole--eeh--black box. We are happy to report that even if the river was unusually high, everyone stayed in their boat during the run. Hass Hole was two small green waves that seemed to be made of glass: it was strange to surf since there was no ripple on the water coming your way, you never knew whether your bow was inches above water, or about to pearl... When the sun came out, we could clearly see in great details the bottom of the river creating the wave. Like Valleyfield, but in shades of brown. Some even tried seal launching, the rock is now decorated with multicolour bits of plastic... Eventually, there were ten of us who ran the river and the sky was blue for the last 3/4 of the run. Bugs were reasonnable at Jessup but lived up to the legend at the take out, Bug Bay--oops--Buck Bay.

Just as a heads up--I will be driving there later today and camp with beer, fire... I'm bringing an 8"x8" canopy, BTW. --C.

EDITED: actually, since it rains and nobody wants to go tonight, I'll go tomorrow morning!
