Our south end hunt was a float trip. And we each had our own canoe. We all agreed that having your own canoe gave you some independence. You could canoe alone with your thoughts or you could canoe in tandem. Whatever you wanted. It was also fun just to master the paddle stroke and get the canoe to take the river curves at a rapid pace.
Floating in a boat in the sunshine is pretty awesome. Food and water at hand. Binoculars and camera at the ready for anything interesting that showed up. Floating the river never got old.
Some of my highlights included: An eagle watching me from a perch on high and then dropping into the air to come down and circle me. I swear he looked me right in the eye and almost talked to me. Another highlight was coming around a bend and surprising 2 HUGE swans who batted the water rapidly and took off with a great deal of honking and splashing. Then there were the beavers slapping their tails. And all the time the vibrant fall colors. Patrick
