September 2/07
We're finally back in Rogers range for e-mailing. The wind is at our backs as we're paddling up the French River nearing hwy 69. Here's a pic of Ben sussing out the rapid we need to climb.
We're doing fine. It's a nice, sunny day. We went swimming to get clean and did some laundry. Our clothes needed maintenace after a few day of raininess and little sunlight hours in which to dry. Ben bought potato wedges and chicken for lunch from the grocery store and it lasted for dinner at the random camping island along the way where this photo was taken.
August 31/07
Successfully crossed Lake Huron and are in Killarney. We'll be heading for the mouth of the French River tomorrow but probably won't make it there until Sunday. Ben has succeeded in finding french fries for dinner.
