Great day on the Wallace River. Water level was high enough to get down without hitting too many rocks.
We had one kayak and four canoes, seven people and one dog. This was our (Wendy and Bernie Levy) first time on the river. Very pleasant paddle some rips and riffles and many down stream V's at the present water level, lots of fun. It was about a 2 1/2 hour paddle plus breaks and lunch. About 9 K by land much more by water. First half of river very unpopulated, then changed to odd cottage/cabin. Few people fishing.
Thanks again Brian for organizing this paddle. 
 
Brian at put-in.

   Bernie,
   sounds like fun was had by all and the water level was adequate... Thank you for the great pics. Too bad I couldn't make it to the Wallace yesterday...
