The boats get wet

I feel like we do a lot of really fun things in life, but the feeling you get putting all your gear into a boat on the first day of a river trip and shoving off into the wild for a week is pretty tough to beat.  Camp Baker is the put in for the Smith and its pretty much a shit show of boats, gear, people, etc.  We were up and early preparing. 

 

 First fish of the trip for me. 

 Jack, Ted, and BC, all smiles, stoked to be on the river.  

Confluence of the Smith and Rock Creek, mandatory stop.
