We waited it out about 10 miles upriver from Heaven on Earth...we talked about trying to get down there, but decided we were better off staying put. It would've been nice watching the snow fly through a window, rather than a backpacking tent vestibule! Interesting to hear about the red canoe...we assumed they must have had a rough go of it. Some of those sweepers were pretty challenging to manage in a canoe. Glad to hear they made it out ok.<br />WillWill Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679946752061021543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-47826577757310545862010-05-16T17:06:26.408-06:002010-05-16T17:06:26.408-06:00We launched the Sunday before you with a similar p...We launched the Sunday before you with a similar plan of 6 days 5 nights. Saw some elk, caught a few fish and the saving grace was we had planned to stay at the Heaven on Earth Ranch for Wednesday night. When we arrived we heard of the weather forecast and ended up staying there for 3 days. Our last day was Saturday with a 30 mile float to get out. That red canoe belonged to a group from Annaconda who launched the same day as us. Sounds like they flipped several times and arrived at the take out 11 PM Friday night. What a storm, but amazing just like last year when we floated the same time.Floatfisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376025095571721663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-81566958990506282432010-05-07T10:31:18.214-06:002010-05-07T10:31:18.214-06:00Kara~

The storm broke and the sun shined (for a few minutes) on my bday...a great gift.<br /><br />FH,<br />Glad you had a fun trip...I can imagine that the fishing was tough following all that snow. You saw our canoe? The blue SOAR? Or are you thinking that the red canoe on river right near Deep Creek was ours? If so, not the case, that canoe was abandoned by a group during the storm...the note pinned to it offered a reward for anyone who would bring it out for them.<br /><br />WillWill Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679946752061021543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-74804064530950660532010-05-06T11:59:06.509-06:002010-05-06T11:59:06.509-06:00I just go off the Smith too.

Im glad we missed your storm, but the aftermath made for a wild sight of downed trees and brown water. Enough whiskey & beer did make for 60 miles of fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389042250184556822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439150239233085035.post-28540071749226585672010-05-05T11:50:56.231-06:002010-05-05T11:50:56.231-06:00Despite the terrible weather it still sounds like ...Despite the terrible weather it still sounds like a great way to celebrate a 30th birthday.Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248695641335728856noreply@blogger.com
