A floodwater in the spring
though 1t covers much OF the bot
tomlands. does not usually last
long enough to kill the vegetation
along the river, but this baekwstet
covered this section for almost s
whole year. effectively choking out
all life.
IL was only after section oi
the dam had slid into the lake that
the water was lowered as safety
measure. and the land again
peeped through into the sunlight
The difficulty now was TO find
a suitable camping spot for the
night. With the bottomlands dead,
and even the high. comparatively
safe sand-bars a veritsble sea OF
mud, there was hardly place to
step ashore.
Mud Dangerous
However, there was one consola-
ton in this section. There would
be no shortage OF firewood. The
whole vslle.. from wall to wall was
literally carpeted with driftwood,
ranging in size from huge old logs
to mere twigs. And even though
much Of il was in bath OF mud,
the hot rays of the sun, unim-
peded by the shade of leafy trees,
had almost completely dried it all
out. We passed great piles OF
driftwood, at the head of coulees,
which a match would have made
into bowling inferno for hun
dreds of feet
The land was so caked with mud
and other debris that, though we
started looking for camping spot
at four in the afternoon, ii was
nearly dark before we found a
place TO step ashore for the night.
Though there was thin cake OF
dry gumbo on top OF the ground.
we had to step carefully so as not
to break through.
Dew Very Heavy
A quick, incautious step meant
sinking ankle-deep into the ooze
and it's hold was sometimes 50
strong that helping hand was
hooded for extrication. Under
those conditions sleeping on the
ground was out of the question, so
we rugged a tarpaulin over the
canoe for shelter against the I'M
believably heavy dew. and made
preparations to sleep in 1t.
This may sound somewhat diff
cult as the canoe has only thirty
four inch beam, but If couple is
friendly II can be done. However,
we would not recommend II for a
nightly proce dure in warm
weather.
A few miles below what had
once been the post office OF Leedy
we ran into a dead country. Al
though all the willows and cotton
woods were standing along the bot
toms, they were mere skeletons,
with not a leaf or a bud or a speek
of green to be seen.
Herons Are Clever
II was as though blight had
struck the country, leaving moth
ing alive. for even the birds had
deserted the river. leaving only the
ghostly blue herons TO stand
sentinel-like on some lonely bar
and squawk hoarsely at US as we
drifted past.
These herons. incidentally, are

motion almost too quick for the

would swoop downward and goehie

Of their private fishing grounds

Though we have had one or two
bad DAYS since our start. May rs
was by far the downright toughest
We expect to have during the
whole four or five months OF the
voyage. We showed off bright and
early and right from the start
were plagued by heavy north
west wind that gave US consid-
cradle trouble on the bends,
Channel Il Obscure
During the middle OF the morn
ing we came out OF wide bend
right onto the back waters OF
the dam. The valley, at this point
nearly four miles wide. was filled
from side to side. and. OF course
the current slowed up almost to
stop. But that wasn't the worst
part OF II.
The water was Just over the
bottomlsnds by inches. and the
only way we could follow the
channel at all was by trying to
keep between the lines of dead
eottonwoods that formerly lined
the bank. This wasn't quite as
easy as IL sounds. for the various
old channels of the river had their
tree markings too. and the land
between them had been built up
by the river until il was only three
or four inches deep. Keeping In
the channel. once across the valley
we spent nearly an hour following
il 1ack 10 the other side against
the wind.
Develop 9th Sense"
Here the wind had clear
sweep and the choppy seas 1t
raised were doubly bad because
they hid the snsgs and old sawyers
that formerly were visible.
Giving up the current crossings
in disgust. we finally decided TO
hug the north shore as much as
possible ara cut right across the
flooded bottoms. We hadn't gone
20 feet before we were hard
aground in a sea OF mud with the
wind turning us broadside into II
and threatening TO upend US. But
1t was suicide to again cross the
lake in search Of a channel, so for
the next 20 miles we felt our way
cautiously close 10 the north shore,
going aground so many times we
lost count. Luckily we were able
to dodge the vicious looking snags
that had been the Waterloo OF 80
many old boats.
BY this time our eyes were be-
coming accustomed TO watching
for distractions in the water, and
we were fast developing almost
sixth sense and felt their presence
rather than saw them.
