Quick Sand on the Sturgeon

The water on the Sturgeon River was very high this year. At the height of the spring runoff, the water had risen to near record levels. The river flooded in a few spots and there was certainly a lot of water flowing over Lower Goose Falls. My sense is that after so much turbulance, and water flow, that the sand was left unstable.

I took one step toward the river and sunk right to my crotch. My buddy Mike laughed hysterically as he said...hold that pose, I'm getting my camera! I managed to save my boot, but only because it was laced on.

I also caught a nice dinner Pickerel shortly after this shot was taken. We then hopped on our bikes and headed back to camp for dinner.....mission accomplished!
