Upper Beaver Bend
Well, I've left off 'At Lunch:' at Ozone Beach for the Season to the tourists, and Mosquitoes, and take to the Cabin for the half hour respite from Last Chance!...anyway, over an hour of Deer clips out in Two Top Pine Meadow last Monday...for sometime...want to check back tomorrowmorrow, One Doe is ready to have Fawn(s), and another Doe not far behind...Newborn Fawn pics have been difficult to get...and yesterday was the maiden paddle about in Merganser....have lots of clips that need editing...had to often put the camera down to paddle!...for sometime...work hours just long!...and wow hours too, but that's on me!...Cottonwood knawed on by Beaver is at the Big Beach Bend at Housekeeping, henceforth, Upper Beaver Bend...this is like almost two miles up River from Beaver Bend, which I need to check for knawings!...Merganser flyby during the paddle, Mallards, Ouzels....it was late afternoon, and I pulled out at the Creek by Azalea Bluff (Day before pics too for sometime) when almost Dark...wrong place for Rafts and such to pull out, but I needed to get close to the Cabin, as no way to return...as it was, I gave up trying to get all the Air out of Merganser, and just bear hugged everything, and paddled to the Cabin...a fine float!...but one needs to set aside time to inflate, and deflate!...and find someway to sit comfortably--it's like I'm trying to paddle while in the middle of a sit up!...very cool that one can feel the the ripples, almost rapids, through Merganser's floor...oh, paddle about began at Stoneman Bridge...didn't make it to Ozone, ersoision clff thereabout makes getting out of River problelmatic..tourists' feet are dangling over cliff....
