Our paddle today involved a put-in near a cherry orchard. Both red and black.

Fishing around here is a bit complicated.  Better to just paddle.

A ride on the ferry, coming and going.

Three hours on the Santiam.  Then the Willamette.  Just past the confluence are these beautiful cliffs.

Then 45 minutes to paddle on down to the ferry.

You can be pretty depleted after a long day of paddling.  Luckily, the ferry captain keeps a supply of Magnum Bars on board to help you get your strength back. He only stocks the caramel ones.  Oh, Darn!  🙂
