But over all there is an atmosphere of friendliness which is not the sole possession of man with his warm “Howdy, boys,” and open reception.

The first night out we frightened some beavers as we prepared to make camp. Swiftly they took to the water, their broad tails whacking the river with the unmistakable slap of identification.
