First Trip Of The Year

This was the first of what we hope to be MANY days on the river. With temps at about 80 degrees it was hard to believe it is only April 2oth, until you got into the water that is. LOL

But it was a gorgeous sunny day! The water was smooth as glass! (That almost NEVER happens on the Columbia at any time of year.) No one got too sunburned. We got to do a bit of exploring upriver (or was it downriver?). Brauts roasted on the fire was a very yummy lunch! All in all it was a very fun and very relaxing day off. And shouldn't every day off be like that?
