Ralph and Dave's river run

July 24, 2006. - Christy lake/Perth, Ontario

This one was from Christie lake to Perth along the Tay river (see map); 4.5 hours of 18+ km river. Survived a thunderstorm, a waterfall, countless rocky rapids, a couple of km of walking the boat through rocky shin deep water, one camera dunking, and ravenous starvation.


a little more adventurous than the last, this time with 1 canoe and 1 yak.  after some vehicle juggling to avoid showing up in Perth stranded, we headed out.

some nice scenes along the way..   yep, thats a log
