St. John River 2011

 Night one: Nice, in-control fire. This is at the starting gate of our trip at Baker Lake.
 Day one: Matt, Seth, Myles. Third week of May the water remains pretty chilly.
 Day two: Sam stabilizing the canoe as the team almost takes water over the gunnel. Seth and I went swimming.
 Day two: Evolution of the fire. Rotted out pith and heartwood of the trunk makes for good fire.
 Day two a few hours later: In-control fire?
Day Three: Seth and Seeka
Day Four: Shementicook: Heading down Shementicook where we would could finally get a chance to swim in freezing cold class three rapids. (Photo courtesy of Dave Martinelli)
And that concludes a highly condensed three or four day trip down the St. John river.
