Double Duo Date, Slave River
We've been talking about it for years.... a top to bottom no portage Slave River Rapids run (Fort Fitzgerald to Fort Smith, ~20 km). In the past, we've been turned off by the longish stretches of flat water that we'd have to paddle in our cramped playboats. Enter option Duo with camping and double date (minus the wine that I forgot to pack). It was a perfect two days of paddling, ~5 hours on the water + priceless hours hanging out on the rocks with our very close friends and Fort Smith locals, John Blyth and Gen Cote. We didn't take many photos, but I feel like the ones that we did get really captured the flavor of the outing. The team(s) at Fort Fitz John and Gen catch some air off of Rollercoaster Gen and Nat Leif and Nat at Twinkies John and Gen on Twinkies John being John. John's a little bummed that Natalie burnt the veggies Wow. Just Wow. I'm just a little scared. Inspired by Come Down to the River, circa 19...
