4th of July

Took the chance to spend a bit of time with my friends Julie, and Kyle and Julie who are relaxing before their wedding at the end of the month. Here's Julie enjoying the start of the upper Chena, a very relaxed float!



The dogs alternated swimming, running along gravel bars, and spending some time in the boats. That's Kyle and Julie setting the pace.



Floated down to a nice beach and barbecued up a good lunch of sockeye salmon and burgers. There was some beer along with G and Ts which could have contributed to some navigation issues during the afternoon.



Julie's dog Caz and Turtle swam several miles of the river which is shocking as Turtle has only been swimming a couple of times, and short distances at that since I've known her.



Tawna's back home on Tuesday, and we're all (that's Turtle, Tupac, and me) looking forward to posting some adventures with her again.
