The Stickeen

Today, while Hubby Doc worked, I got to take a boat trip up the Stickeen. Of course, I felt terribly guilty going without him, but, it had to be done. Some of the medical staff put the trip together, so it was fun to be with some folks I already knew.
The Stickeen is a wild river and a popular recreation area. We only went up a few miles, but many go over a hundred miles up river to enjoy hot springs, great fishing, camping and hunting.
It was especially beautiful today, because the weather was clear and sunny. We really lucked out!
Many of you will remember the story John Muir wrote. Stickeen, about a dog he befriended while exploring the river area.
