Deschutes Fall Trip 09; A Passage in Time

November 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Mid October brought some fine fall weather from Trout Creek to Harpham.

This Fall trip was special, I brought along my son a recent U of O grad. His first overnight trip was age 8. He’s older now and much stronger or simply stated: less boat bags to haul, less rowing, and more camp help!

After a few pointers from someone who had a bit more Deschutes experience, he seemed to get the hang of it:

Whitehorse always provides those “pucker moments in time” but we all safely passed and headed down river. It’s always about the knuckles: stay too far left your headed for the can opener, stay too far right, and your boat becomes an aluminum bell chime.

Bottom line a great fall trip and a very special time.
