Thanks it definitely lived up to expectations but like all good plans it went out the window once in the field (or on the water as it was), brilliant humbling experience that really made my USA trip a thing to remember

No trouble at all just plans forced to change due to unusually low water levels in certain areas, flexible options were always part of the original plan as i was doing this from 3000+ miles away based on modern maps and a 130 year old book

Weather only broke on Tuesday last week and hit 35 Degrees before the end.

Low water levels in one of the hottest summers my buddies can remember.

My lot are complaining about a serious deer shortage too due to the very successful reintroduction and abundance of Wolves.

Did think of you mate!

Same here temps only broke on my last night when it rained for 12 hrs but it was still around 27c the rest of the time was mid to high 30's, i wondered several times how your trip was going, i seen no bears and only one tree where a bear had marked it's patch and clawed the bark, every night i could hear the wolf packs calling to each other once the loons had finished their evening calls.

I'll try n make sure the write up is worth the wait Bopdude, i have literally hours and hours of raw video to edit up and hundreds of pictures (this means it definitely happened i gather ;))and even some solid memory patterns to wade through and make sense of, hopefully it will make good entertainment once i sort it all out
