We had a three-hour run through town on the North Saskatchewan on the long weekend. Our daughter dropped us below the Quesnel Bridge.
The Edmonton Queen looks ready to sail; I imagine they are waiting on some higher water.
The river was very busy by 10 am, with canoes and rafts and crew out. We caught this coyote on the shore by the Mayfair golf course.
We also chased a beaver for awhile below the Groat bridge. I ground out just above the LRT bridge and had to bumscoot to deeper water (thought I was going to have to get out and push!).
Mill Creek outflow was chugging along.
By accidental beach we spotted some kind of eagle (golden or young bald) being harassed by a bunch of magpies and crows. It eventually flew off, scaring up all of the ducks.
The pullout at Dawson Park was grime. We ground out about 40 feet from shore and had to wade in through the silt.
All told, a lovely float down the river to start the year.
