More Floating

Does this guy look "highly skilled", or what? He did get re-acquainted with an ancient skill: hitchhiking. To get back to Ava and the boat from Deadman's Bar takeout where I put the truck, I had to grab a paddle and a life jacket to look like a "fellow paddler" and get a ride back up-river almost 10 miles. It worked! 3x and usually within only a few minutes by the road.

Ava and I got some great views of the mountains and the woods from the seats in the boat - the floats lasted 3 to 5 hours, depending on how much we stopped. We always ate lunch and saw these tracks (my knife is 5 inches long) with lots of other animals'.
