3rd year doing a spring float with a Bible study group that Mark leads through the school year. The raft trip is the capstone before the summer break. This year we did the lower section of the Deschutes from buck hollow all the way to the Columbia River (heritage landing). About 40 miles over the 3-day long weekend. This includes a stretch that none of us have done prior.
We had one mishap with Mark’s boat and he had to do a field repair on the outer shell. Thankfully, it did not puncture the bladder so able to leverage the repair for the remainder of the trip until he can do a more permanent fix.
