FLOATING THE BITTERROOT

Connie and I joined Ike and Brenda and their friends Carl and Julie and their two kids to float the Bitterroot from Stevensville to Florence Saturday afternoon.  It was a hot day and being on the river was a great place to escape the heat.  Had a great time although Connie and Brenda were in the kayak on a 90 degree bend and got hung up on a root ball for a minute or two.  They had to stop and bail out the kayak!  Other than that, it was a pretty lazy day of floating the river.

Brenda is still trying to get Ike to catch a fish.  

Harrison and his Dad Carl are pretty intent on catching a fish.

We have these insects we call "cranes" that catch other flying insects like this bee and suck them dry.  This one landed on my wrist watch band to have it's lunch.
