They gave lis grand send-off
and we padded out Of Yankton
rather reluctantly, and 1t will go
down with Bismarck in our memory
book as the most enjoyable stay We
have had.
The day was far from perfect
for making our planned so miles.
The sky was somewhat overcast
with a filmy mist that, in this part
Of the country, often presages rain.
But just after we showed off the
radio station broadcasted a spe-
cial weather bulletin to us and
promised us at least two days of
fair weather. though they said
nothing about the head wind that
seemed to be getting stronger by
the minute.
Country Changes
However, they were right. for.
as the sun rose higher in the sky,
the filminess disappeared and fair
weather thunderheads began to APP
pear. The wind reached about ten
miles and. though 1t was enough
TO cut eight or ten miles off our
days run, we were thankful that
II held there instead Of going
higher.
The country took on a distinct
change from Yankton. We knew
from our charts that the valley
widened out considerably and 1t
was the first time since being on
the river that we have been. at any
time, out Of sight Of both walls of
the valley. The change was very
sudden, for above Yankton there
are few trees, except along the
river bottoms, and practically no
other vegetation but grass and
prickly pear cactus. Starting with
Yankton, even the hills started TO
bear trees, and we could see large
stands of timber far back from
the river bank.
Rest for Eyes
Hardwoods began to become
quite common and there were even
a few evergreens scattered over
some of the older bottomlands.
The lush underground along the
banks was heavier and impenetra-
Bile. Sandbars seemed barely to
stick their heads above water be-
fore tiny cottonwood and willow
trees found a foothold.
1t was distant rest for our eyes
to look out from the river and see
only the soft green of Natures
handiwork instead of the bare
bleak hills of the north that had
stared back at us so stolidly.
The river, too, seemed to catch
the spirit of change, and broadened
to twice its former width. The only
drawback to this is that it failed
to bring enough water down for
this sudden change. While still
within sight of Yankton, we were
caught in a sand pocket and spent
the better part of an hour feeling
our way carefully through the shall
low chutes and pushing ourselves
off bars when we ran aground.
Chutes Are Long
There may have been a deep
channel somewhere in that maze Of
bars, but we didn't find it. 1t was
nearly ten miles before we were
able to find and hold the true chan
mel. With the water dropping so
fast (it fell 10 inches during our
short stay in Yankton) these shall
low chutes are a continual source
of irritation.
The chutes are sometimes as
wide as the river itself and about
an inch deep, and they may con-
tinue for miles. Once caught in
them means considerable time
wasted trying to get back to deep
water. Each chute will have cur
: rent, so it does little good TO fol-
low the smaller sand boils. The
only signboard at all Is the occa-
