So, on the 18th we were originally going to go back to the Santiam River and do the Bruneau Mtn. run again. However, the 4th boater and other vehicle, called in the morning and cancelled. This left us with no shuttle. Michael, Pat, and I could still have gone and hitchhiked the shuttle but when Michael said the decision was up to me, I decided to take the day of rest. I guess my confidence is still a little shaken.
To make up the for the lost day of paddling we have decided to head down to the North Umpqua a day earlier than planned. We hung out with Carl and Nancy for a bit and then we hit the road to go back to Michael's. We made a stop in Corvallis, Oregon to look in Peak Sports for a new paddle to replace the one that I lost. Unfortunately, Peak Sports doesn't carry any whitewater gear. We decided to have lunch and took a short walk down the street to the New Morning Bakery which had delicious food! The rest of the day was spent hanging gear to dry, doing laundry, and hanging out at Michael's with he and Susan. Tomorrow will be prep for the weekend on the NUmp (North Umpqua) and starting to prep for our five day trip down the Rogue River after that!
