After another week at Michigan Tech, I was hoping to paddle the Potato River. In the event, the wind and waves on the lake blocked our approach. Instead, we decided to do some forestry on the Cranberry, and back up the river of chocolate milk we went. At the little "S" curve just downstream from the small bridge there were three or four trees in the water that were making for a tricky run. Mark used a couple of saws to do some thinning. After that we paddled to the upper end of navigability and sipped some bourbon while skipping stones. Mark and Kristi had promised me a barbeque and bonfire on the beach, but the winter weather squashed our hopes (there are still no leaves on the trees). So, we had dinner inside by the fireplace in our long underwear. Another great day at Camp Rubens.
