Took the truck with canoe and gear up to Matachewan for the trip down to Latchford about 124 km. Paul came with us and took the truck home (thanks Paul). Brian and I started paddling about 9:30, weather hot and not much current. Reached Fox Rapids shortly and had a good run through. Further on the water was too shallow for the next 3 rapids and had to line and haul over the rocks.On the way we spotted a bear diving in and out of the water eating water plants as we got closer he caught our scent and headed for the shore. Finally after 19.5 km. and blazing sun we pulled into a campsite just before the first portage at Indian Chutes Generating Station. Set the tent had supper and around 7 went out for fish and caught bass and walleye. All this was followed by a great sunset.

Happy you returned home safely.
We thought about you every day... you went during the time frame of the hottest day of the year. How ever did you manage to get any rest at night as it never cooled down that much... 20-21C? The tent had to be hot???
