It had been a weekend to remember.

Bless you Myron. May your next stop have canoes in abundance - and great
fishing.

Riverman - thanks for the vicarious treat. All I needed was some drums in the
background to make the reading complete. (I will pass on the grubs though).

Great stuff like all your past adventures. You got the makings of a book
in there.

As usual, I'm late to the party, but that was an incredible, wonderful
report. Thanks for the glimpse into a Congolese reality.

Cheers,
Bill

You are a braver man than I am, Mr. Buck.

Thanks for a great read, and a great series. Two hopes:

I hope you continue to write and share these with us as long as you
are in the Congo

and

I hope that your next teaching assignment finds you in some locale
with fewer assult rifles and more rivers to paddle.

Well, I don't think I'm really all that brave, but I'm with you on the last
two points, Mike! I GOTTA get on the water for a soul-fulfilling long
distance class 2-3 trip soon. In fact, I've been thinking about emailing you
and seeing if you want to look at some northern Canada excursion for the
last 2 weeks of this summer..? I get done my summer school classes around
July 19, and I'll have until about August 10 before I need to be in Congo.
I'd be up for coming over the pond to do some tripping. I was thinking of 4
people in 3 boats; do something remote, without too many people...wanna
start thinking that way?

Thanks for the amazing story riverman. I was glad that there was no gunplay
in this one.

Catching even one fish is awesome in strange conditions like that.

We're already hoping and planning for a family trip out west next
summer. Diane will be finished with grad school classes and we haven't
been out west with the boys in several years.

We're considering floating a section of the Green in Utah and then
swinging up into Wyoming/Montana before heading back east on some
route up top.

But if I don't get moving soon on the house and shop renovations I'll
more likely end up spending mext summer hanging drywall :-(
