Milk River 2004 - First Day

  
The first day we paddled from the town of Milk River to Coffin Bridge.

If you paddle the Milk River, buy the Alberta Recreation Canoe Association map. They are available at most paddling and outdoor recreational stores. ARCA's website lists where one can buy them.

The Coffin Bridge campsite was donated by the landowner, who lives a few 100m away. He and his wife stopped by for a chat. He has been hit by the BSE scare. In the morning, he stopped by again and suggested that we fill our water container from his tap. He drove Peter back with a full container and another short chat. He moved to Canada from Switzerland in the 1950s and purchased this out-of-the-way piece of land (>2000 acres) in 1968. Being ranching cattle ever since.
