DAY 33 & 34...Kipp Recreational Area

We decided to paddle all the way through to the end of the 149 miles today instead of splitting it up. Our Outfitter is set to pick us up on Saturday at 1 in the afternoon and we all agreed doing 27 miles in one day was the wise way to go. Also, the last campsite has all the amenities that we have been doing without for the last three sites...toilet, running water and boat ramp. See, it's the little things that really count when you are on the river.
We had lots of time to relax on Saturday so we built a nice fire for breakfast and kept toasty till the outfitter came for us.
Chuck went into the woods looking for firewood that we could break up and feed the fire.

Jan was demonstrating how to quick toast a bagel over the campfire...not bad!
Here is the official sign at the end of the line
The bridge over the river just before our take-out was dedicated to a Montana Senator. I like his philosophy
Looking up river, where we paddled...
Looking down river, where we did not go...

Ever on guard...
