Floated down the Clearwater River on April 21st with 12 others (some old friends and others now new friends), camping that nite at the confluence of the Clearwater and the Tanana River. Next day we floated less than 1/2 mile down the Tanana and then up the drainage of Clearwater Lake to the take-out.
Wonderful spring weather, temps. in the low 60s. There is no complete ice cover on the Clearwater because it is spring fed. This allows an early spring trip when other rivers and lakes are still ice-covered. It is an easy float with many Grayling to be caught and released, except in August.
The first float for my Ram-X Scanoe. Yeah, that really is the name of the canoe! It has a flat back to put a small boat motor on it. The 2 guys I've been living with this past winter, Ed (front) and Trevor (middle) rode along with. 
Peaks of the Alaska Range to the south.

While paddling up to Clearwater Lake we caused this HUGE Bald Eagle to fly up to thistree. I had the luck to snap the picture just as it was taking off.
