We encountered some modern inconveniences along the way as will be noted below, but nonetheless had a very good trip. August 14, 2003. The boys and I were loaded and pushed off at 4:00 p.m. from Holter Dam on the Missouri River heading up stream. We paddled the pontoon equipped canoe about 4 miles to a saddle in the oxbow bend of the river. We decided to make camp there the first night. Selecting campsites on this portion of the river can be difficult as there is so much of the bank with vertical walls. We laid out our oilcloth and blankets and then had dinner of jerky, smoked trout, sea biscuits and fruit. We hiked around a bit, saw a few deer, and watched the sun set. Bed came at dark. August 15, 2003. I awoke at 5:15 a.m. The night had been very warm and only a canvas cloth covered me all night. Made some cold tea, as this trip required us to have a cold camp. Got the boys up at 7:00 a.m. looking over the map we decided to portage across the saddle. This saved us 2-2 ˝ miles of paddling. We packed up hauled our gear and canoe about 300-400 yards across the saddle. Before loading up we ate breakfast of jerky, smoked trout, cold oatmeal, sea biscuits, and fruit. We put in at 8:45 a.m. The river was calm, weather was warm, and the sky was very hazy from wildfires in the area. We got in the first hour of paddling without any motorboats causing us trouble. As the day progressed we encountered many of the modern self propelled boats. Each time one would pass we would have to turn into the wake to avoid being swamped. Along this days route we saw about 20 big horn sheep and lots of deer. I was surprised to see pelicans and seagulls as well. The water was warm and full of algae. A modern water filter accompanied us on the trip. By 12:30 p.m. we decided to stop for lunch. We landed just down stream from the “Gates of the Mountains”. Over lunch of jerky, smoked trout, sea biscuits and fruit we decided to camp at this spot. We figured if we kept going we could be at our take out by late afternoon. We wanted to stay another night on the river instead. We fished, swam, hiked around and took a nap during the afternoon. Also watched a big thunderhead pass just to the east of us. It started at least one fire we could see smoke from on the other side of the ridge. Dinner was, you guessed it, the same as previous meals with the exception of some cheese added. I loaded the smoothbore and we bear proofed camp before retiring for the evening. August 16, 2003. Wake up call was 6:00 a.m. with the empting of the gun. We packed up and headed for the “gates”. We passed by Mann Gulch where 13 smoke jumpers perished in 1948 from a fire gone wild. Then we immediately entered the “Gates of the Mountains”. What an awesome feeling. Lewis and his party must have been in sheer amazement as they went through this portion of the Missouri. Vertical walls of 1200’ guided us for about a mile before opening up and turning west. We stopped and had breakfast at the site of Lewis’ camp on July 19, 1805. By this time the water had cleared up and was colder. I believe the narrowness and depth of the river prevented the algae build up. Saw more deer and encountered many powerboats this day. Most of the last 5-6 miles was traveled in a much narrower river than the previous 2 days. We encountered some strong winds as well. When we stopped paddling, immediately we began drifting down stream. We landed at the “Gates of the Mountains” tour boat launch site at 1:00 pm, ending our canoe trek. Lessons learned: Canoe travel can be much faster than I thought. This trip could have been made in one day without an overnight stay. We took way to much food for 2 reasons. One, I thought we would be out there longer and 2, we did not eat like we thought we would. The pontoons were a lifesaver (or at least a swamp saver) in a couple of instances where powerboats were less than courteous on the water. Next time fishing needs to be taken seriously. All in all the boys and I had a great time and are ready to do it again. Sorry this is long. With best regards, Dennis Knapp aka Sticher, Alan, and Andy. - ---------------------- hist_text list info: http://www.xmission.com/~drudy/mtman/maillist.html ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2003 08:14:52 -0600 From: Dennis Knapp Subject: MtMan-List: Re: cold camp menu We just got back from a canoe trek on the Missouri river.

That's a Federal reg. On private property, might get away with a flame. Was thinking about the no coffee dilemma & got the idea; "If sun tea works, why not sun coffee?" So, dug out on old quart mason jar, filled it with water, added 1/4 cup of coffee (Folgers), gave it a stir with a spoon, & set it out in the sun at 7:25 AM. Shortly after that it hit me; "DUH! Quart jars aren't period!" So, dug out corn boiler, which, despite wife's heroic efforts to keep clean, has over the years, developed a nice black outside, which should work well for the sun coffee experiment. I loaded it the same as the jar. Thirty minutes later, I sampled both brews. While still about room temp, both, when strained through a paper towel looked like tolerable coffee. Tasted pretty good too. Flavor advantage was slightly in favor of the jar. If you don't mind a few grounds in your cup, straining would be optional. Out in the woods, I'd have ground the beans with a rock & used a clean sock for the straining or even my "coffee bean grinding bag" which is white cotton. More than likely the grinding bag wouldn't work because of all the coffee oils it's absorbed from use. At the 1 hour mark: Both samples still not warm even in our Southern Nevada sun. Jar still has slight edge in flavor, but both are "drinkable". Will discontinue experiment since about 1 hour is about all the time anyone should spend getting moving in the morning while in Mother Nature's living room. I didn't try the "burnin' glass heater" 'cuz I couldn't find mine. Both samples would have been much better hot or iced, but in a cold camp, hot is out of the question & by third day, ice is gone -- if you took any to start with. However, the experiment worked in creating coffee even though it wasn't steaming hot.
