John Day, N. Fork

Our first time down the stretch. One gear boat and one kayak. Full on high desert spring weather - sunny and warm the first day, snow flakes on the last day. Spent 3 days on the water - day 1 had all the class IIIs which were very read and run, day 2 and 3 were a good pace of class II, riffles and flats. Some great bigger camp sites. Lots of other smaller ones. Not much for camps for the last 10 miles. Take out is easy to miss, kind of in the bushes on the right, right before a riffle/drop...hug the right shore after the bridge. No logs or other obstructions were seen by us. Didn't see another sole the whole trip - can't wait to do this one again.
