This is the first time I rigged the 14 ft Sotar Legend Cataraft I got from Bill's estate. Ready to launch from Bachman.
We found a sandy beach for our camp. Time to unload.
Kitchen is set up and a Wing set up for shade. We later set up a second wing for more shaded area.
This site had a great view of Whitechuck Mountain.

Camp broken, boats loaded and ready to launch.
We stopped briefly at Highway 530 bridge where Caseyt got off, then continued our float.
Sand and gravel are constantly slide from this high bank.
Most of the time I float this section of river, water levels are low and channels are braided.
At this flow, the channel is wide open and obvious.

There was a small lean-to built on the beach.
Lunch stop.
