Day 10 - Camp Spring Creek

We are at Camp Spring Creek. On any other day 27 miles in the rain might be enough to send someone packing but today was a fine day to be alive and on the mighty Salmon.

The river is just raging. As we navigated channels and cloud bursts we kept warm by taking turns on the ores and singing river tunes. We saw many more Blue Herons and some Bald Eagles as well as two herds of Elk.

Despite the rain all is well on this expedition. Tonights camp is a protected area full of trees and mosquitos. Moral is high though and we are able to scout the rapids for tomorrow which which gives us both butterflies and confidence.

The expedition has 12 to 21 people, one guitar, two harmonicas, and way to many Dave Kriner jokes. Yet the sun has finally come out and as we dry out our socks and shoes we can only prepare to get wet again tomorrow. Alas, from here we leave our flat water section and enter the steeper and deeper canyon country.
