Camping and canoeing on the Chetco

We decided to camp out for 3 days at the Loeb campground on the Chetco River. Yesterday all of the family arrived and set up camp.

Today we took off down the river in 2 canoes and a kayak. Having scouted the river in advance I knew roughly how long each leg of the journey took. When everyone said that they only wanted an hour or two at most on the river I knew just where to put in. I forgot the camera, so I don't have any pictures of us floating down the river, but I did manage to take my fishing pole and catch a very beautiful little trout.

The girls and I put together a little game where we hid my bear carvings all throughout the campsites. When the rest of the family arrived they searched around to see if they could find them all. It was a lot of fun for the kids. I took a few pictures of the bears in their hiding spots - they're easier to spot in the photos obviously...


























The girls left with my parents to go camping at Redwood Creek over the fourth of July weekend. We'll be hiking in to the river and packing them out for the return trip home. That means Becky and I get a few days to ourselves to relax and spend some time together without any children.
