I was unloading rafting gear and sorting things out after returning from the Idaho trips when my brother came over and invited me on a Deschutes trip. I agreed to go and loaded my raft and gear into his trailer. I used a stern mount frame and had Shelly and Bjorn as my paddlers. We carried all of our gear in the center of the raft. Johnny ran his 14 ft cat with Carla and all of their gear. We took 3 days to run about 24 miles from Mack’s Canyon to Heritage Landing. We had sunshine and very strong winds which made us pull off the water early seeking camp.
