The Takhini River

(This picture will likely be my desktop image for quite some time)

Our canoe trip on Sunday was to revisit this beautiful river just outside Whitehorse. A few of the pictures below (the ones of Jenny and me -- in the red and yellow life jackets) were taken by our friend Kate.

It was surprising to see just how slick and cool a Ford Focus can look with a canoe.

Much of the river was nice easy paddling.

But there was a small section of rapids affectionately known as the Jaws of Death.

Luckily and skillfully, we all managed to cheat death and show Jaws who's boss.
