The Sjoa Expedition Journal - River is up
Tuesday, 13 July 2010
By the time we went to bed, the river was high, into the tree line and still raining. Was raining whilst packing up this morning at the confluence with the Rinda creek. We are camped at home. We live next to the Sjoa River, so it was logical. The decision whether to camp close to the river or sleep in our beds was determined by the rainy weather and the water rising into the little patch of grass at the river.
Åsengjuvet canyon is where we spent most of the day. The effort to shoot today was frustrating with the rainy weather, the rocks were sooper slippy and lenses kept fogging up with the humidity.
Lunch at Harlaug bru was cool to see other people on the river when we arrived at the commercial rafting and popular section known as ` the play run ´. Met some friends we had not seen in a while and other folk we work with.
Our house was a hive of activity, also got a message that our raft was floating down at the river. Was tied up, but we went down anyways and moved it to higher ground.
We still have 2 planned days to go, so want to stay focused on the expedition and not get consumed by the other world too much.
