stopped at little chicago today to get water from the tributary river there, but couldn’t find it! emma spotted it eventually over a sand berm, but it only trickled into the deh cho and seemed stagnant. we went a little further and found a rushing clear creek with lots of tracks around it. bears with claw marks and the unknown one that looks like a small cat or a fox. moon and sun in the sky at the same time tonight.

breakfast three pm/driftwood braided along shore/will across the bay

clay boots in canoe/wash your underwear in silt/muscles constant ache

iron and wine croons/wind feathers water, sun sets/of what do you dream?

gratitude: this place; a tent with screens!; clear water sources; cameras to take photos with!; haiku’s that come.
