Saskatchewan River, Hazel & David Thompson

Day Twelve

6/14/2021

I have met some great people so far on this trip. This morning I was greeted by one of the fishermen from yesterday who had returned with a friend and brought me a selection of fresh fruits to help me on my way - slices of melon, blueberries and some Werthers. Thank you so much, fresh fruit has certainly been missing from my diet over the past days. This day I was still in an urban setting and as I started to look for a suitable camping spot for the night I began to check out a number of islands in the river. The first ones were already occupied by other people so I continued on my way rather than disturbing their peace and privacy until I finally found an island of my own around seven o'clock. A little later than I would have liked but early enough to cook a proper meal rather than baked beans again. I have noticed a fair amount of beaver activity over the last day. They have definitely returned to the area after the era of the fur traders and David Thompson in the early eighteen hundreds.

Hello! A friend just past this on to me (Brett), and is so amazing! My friend, his dog and I just finished Rocky Mountain House to the Forks. We left Rocky around April 23rd. So brave of you to be doing it solo, and for a great cause! Keep up the great work and reach out anytime. We could pass on any relevant info you may be looking for. Good luck and all the best!!

Text me your contact Info to 780-931-3151. Right now I'm taking a day off river in the hopes that the wind will die down and my back Cassville have a rest. The wind has been brutal.
