Paddling the Kunjamuk River

Today we drove 1-1/2 hours to Speculator in order to paddle the Kunjamuk River.  We did 10 miles round trip to Elm Lake and back.


The water is still high so it was a great paddle.  We only had to get out and pull over 3 beaver dams.  At lower water we would have encountered at least a dozen of them.


This garter snake was sunning itself on the bridge where we stopped to have lunch.
