Getting ready for our maiden voyage!
The sunset on our first night. We saw a pair of badgers here in the morning and spent the evening listening to owls and coyotes.
The water was very calm and slow moving, at times wide like a lake, and others narrow like a stream. The thing to watch for is these deadly trees-Russian Olive Trees, with GIANT thorns. There were many hanging over the edge of the river and we had several tangles with them and left with a few stratches. Luckily, we only lost our hats.
We drug our canoe over some dunes to portage around this waterfall and canoe into the Potholes Resevoir.
