Niangua River, Missouri (June 2001)

Mel, who is not the biggest fan of floating, even admitted she had a great time.

We decided to take Dawson with us.  Starting out he was scared to death of the canoe, especially dragging it across the gravel to get to the water.

Heading through a rapid, we bumped a hidden log and the canoe shifted to the side a bit.  This spooked Dawson and he jumped out, upsetting the balance and flipping the canoe.  First time I've ever lost it.  Thanks Dawson.
