Summer 2016 Randomness

The Rabbit trip was the "Big" trip, but there were lots of other shorter trips squeezed in.

Rose River.

I had the bright idea to try to PR Seagull creek off the South Canol.  Bad deal. No water.
However, there we were on the South Canol with 4 days in hand.  Didn't want to head home, so we blew up at the Rose River bridge #5 and cast off.  The Rose is full of fun rapids, and while not terribly "remote", its still a fun 3 day paddle down into the upper Nisutlin.  The lower portion from bridge #2 to #1 is almost never paddled, and we had no intel, so it was fun exploring.
Supposedly III at normal flows.  It was low.

Gotta love river camping

Yukoners don't deal well with rain of any sort

This is some of the fun below bridge #2 which almost never sees a paddle.

More fat camping
