The next morning started out kinda like this,

and pretty much went downhill from there. It rained for the next few days and this was our
living quarters for the next few days.

After the fourth day and no action we decided to leave our little lake and head to another area.

I'm gonna skip around a bit here first.  :biggrin: One day we had an excursion planned to go up
the river with John's son in law Shawn, here's how the day started out.

After leaving the main section of river we shot up a smaller channel towards the camp.

For some reason the video doubled itself, it should only be a total of like 1 minute 45 seconds, then it started itself over.  :confused:

At one point we came around a corner and a Lynx was sitting on the bank. He just sat there and
watched us until we slowed down by him. I was trying to get my camera out of my pocket and
turned on, but didn't get the job done quick enough. I just caught his tail end goin in the brush.  :rolleye:
Very cool to see though !

At one point we pulled over and Shawn decided to see if he could get a good look around and spot us one.

I think he was a good 50 ft up or so.  :laf:  nothin spotted so we moved on.
Well we got to within about 10 or 15 minutes of our camp spot and WHAM hit a log ! We weren't goin anywhere.
After some time goin through spare parts, and a little MacGyverizing with a hose clamp we were movin again, but no reverse.
Our trip was cut short and time to head back. Still a cool experience that I really enjoyed.

I probably already put too many pics in one post for some, I'll stop here and start another.
