This rock next to the crag looked like a camel with lipstick. Right? Right? I'm not crazy...
This might look like a random picture of trees. And it is. But if you look carefully you might see an elk.

I liked this place, it had a nice comfortable feeling.

David paddles back up stream
I should have taken a video here - he was paddling as hard as possible but wasn't moving at all, sitting there perfectly stationary. Ended up pulling the kayak out of the water and bypassing the strong current.
