We are in Inchelium and off to Two Rivers Tomorrow

We had a beautiful day with overcast skys, not to hot and pretty darn Skookum paddling. We started at 7:30 Am which means we were up at 5 AM and tearing down our camp.I finally have everything in one Hockey bag and have sent much extras home with Monroe and Ellen Kinloch. The new people took to the boats with a zeal today which helped as we did a fair day at 44.5 km paddle. When we arrived at this Indian Reservation they had the boats do the figure 8s with the black powder charges and the grand entrance. The Band had the drums and did an official welcoming and prayer. I have left the grandstand so I can blog this. I ahve NO camera as the camera lent to me finally broke down so I am out of photos. To bad because the drum and native dancers are going full tilt with the bagpipes and dancers doing their thing as well. We were fed venison roast and ribs(very tender and not gamey in the least)brown beans ,coleslaw,salad,potato salads and chicken (very tender) breaded and baked. Sorry Marilyn I ate the coating scolding my self all along the way. TWO brownies for desert and a bottle of water finished off a very hard day. Tomorrow will be harder with 54 km as the paddle length. I have no new pictures but I will see if I can upload something nice from before.The Columbia basin is absolutely beautiful all down this corridor.

Happy Fathers Day to one and all.
