Well we headed out on another adventure into the Mts of this beautiful province we live in and ADVENTURE is what we found.
140km riverboat ride to the trailhead followed by 35km of backpacking up valleys and over mtns in search of sheep.
By day 6 and only a handful of sheep & some skyline hunters we headed back to the boat. So Up to the lake we go for some fishing and relaxing.
Day 12 Amanda's missing home and we decided to head out hoping to spot something from the river. 4 km later and we were in the worst position imaginable.
Boats quickly filling with water and our gear starts floating away. Panic and adrenaline kick in 110% as we grab everything we can and throw it on shore.
Winch is out but the weight and force of rushing water is too much. The decision to push the SOS on the inreach brings Amanda to tears as our reality sets in. WE'RE F@#KED.
Not 15 mins later 2 boats pull up and offer their help.
And help they did. 3 DAY'S
Not only did we get the boat out of the water it is now running and floating. Though it's not 100% we managed to get it to a safe location to spend the winter until further repairs can be completed.
Huge thanks to Nate and staff over at Tuchodi River Outfitters. Nate you went way over and above helping and we can't thank you enough. See you in reno my Friend.
