It was a nice day to confront past demons on the Sturgeon River for the two "kids" (Jackie & Tracie) of the party. It was time to get back on the horse that threw them. Neither had paddled this river since 2014 when both crashed & burned in a seriously scary manner.
Two veteran pros (John & Lois) were there, showing their usual prowess at being fearless leaders for the young 'uns.
Nobody dumped, nobody died, & all left off the river unscathed.
The two "kids" celebrated their conquest by a little shopping & dinner out on the way home.
