We put in at Cresap and motored east toward Saddle Dam. This put us on the very short section of the Lewis River between Merwin and Yale. I understand the Saddle Dam ramp is not usable at this time as they've drawn down Yale to work on the dam. We're headed back to Ridgefield tomorrow to take...

Finally, after nearly 2 years of ownership, we spent the night on C-Otter! We had a marvelous time and most important to me is my wife is asking if we can do it again next week! :D Here's a pic facing west over the top of the boat. We anchored and then tied a line from the stern to the exposed...

Thank you! Your efforts are greatly appreciated! :D
