We are only about 50kms from Athabasca now and camped on a very muddy river bank.
The weather has been cool. Quickly phoned the shop (the business I have when I'm not on expeditions), Canoeing Down Under and suggested to Alaine that she brings along rubber boots. Tony and I were talking about the mud and we think Alaine will find the mud difficult to cope with, it'll be interesting to see just how she does cope.
We need to lessen the load in the canoe and we're hoping that we get to Athabasca before the post office closes so we can post some things to Hay River, things that we can do without . Alaine and Leonie are hiring a canoe from Canoe North in Hay River and so we'll take the liberty of sending stuff there. The girls (that word is used loosely) arrive in Hay River on the 8th July.
We've seen plenty of moose with their calves. deer, beaver and ducks. The water was running a bit slower yesterday (Wednesday) but picked up today (Thursday).
