Current

***This will contain a plethora of the typical "boat bow to scenery" shots. You've been warned.***

Few weeks ago had the itch to get back down to the Current for a solo overnighter. Weather has been amazing, so I made the push.

The plan was for 27ish miles, from Pulltite to Two Rivers, where the Jack's Fork joins up.  I wasn't going to be on the water until 1PM so I planned to get through a bit more than half and then set up camp on a gravel bar.

Abundant Scenery.

As I passed under a large tree similar to the one at left below, a Bald Eagle took to flight.  It takes them a second or two to start gaining altitude, so it flew right over my head and downriver.  I could hear its huge wings beating the air.  One of those moments where I actually spoke aloud even though no one was there to listen.  It got up near the bluff ahead and circled, catching updrafts until I could barely see it.  I'd have never noticed, but there were two more up there as well.  I don't know if they were eagles or not.  Didn't appear to be Turkey Vultures.

Later on I saw another huge bird flying down the river, looked like a Golden Eagle to me.

 Almost stopped at Bee Bluff to camp for the night but I was enjoying the river too much to stop.  Once dusk came I realized I was moving pretty quickly and had approx. two hours of paddling to go.  The allure of a night paddle was too strong so I bundled up and got out the lights.  Never had to use them though, the stars were bright.

Finished up around 9 and decided to roll home.

This may be my favorite float of all.
