Riviere Noire Adventure
After dropping Sam off at Keeners, we embarked on a 5 day trip on the Black River in Quebec. The Black flows into the Ottawa upstream of Sam's camp. We had terrific weather, manageable bugs and some nifty campsites - two sandy beaches, one perched above 50:50 rapids and the last one a combo beach/forest site. We are grateful to our Ontario friends for helping us with boats, gear and knowledge!
