Rain overnight kept going into the morning. A bittersweet day, our last on the river. Most of the paddle for the first three miles was rock gardens. The light rain picked up and the headwinds became strong but we were determined to make our takeout on time, at 12:30, just past the bridge at Mattice. Winds were 20-25 miles an hour. An eagle soared above the left bank, encouraging us to solider one. Also saw a playful otter. Our shuttle driver James was impressed with our punctuality.
Although tired, dirty and wet, we enjoyed being in "the zone." The expedition turned out just as we had hope and planned.
Total miles paddled was 10.
