Be careful to screw the jerrycans on tightly; my phone and my friend's drowned, and I still don't know if they'll come out alive—my screen is ruined.
A beautiful stretch of river, partly shaded, partly open. The water was the perfect temperature for these hot days. We saw lots of fish. Three fun descents with plenty of splashing! We had to bail water out of the canoe because it was up to our knees.
