This was to be a recurring theme for the trip.<\/p>\n<p>Mark has been a fishing guide and outfitter on the Deschutes for eighteen years. Everybody on the river knows him and he knows everybody. Although this was a \u201csimple camping trip\u201d where I could relax and enjoy the ride, I think I got a good glimpse into what Mark does for a living. He has all the gear required to provide his clients a fair amount of luxury while they flog the water. For this trip, he brought only a small amount \u2013 stove with fuel, three days food and water, chairs, cots, sleeping bags, dry bags with personal items, and a cooler full of beer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1292\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3853_stitch_crop_resize\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1292\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1292\" data-attachment-id=\"1292\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3853_stitch_crop_resize\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?fit=2305%2C800\" data-orig-size=\"2305,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1408968731&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?fit=584%2C202\" class=\"wp-image-1292 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=584%2C202\" alt=\"IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize\" width=\"584\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=1024%2C355 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=300%2C104 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=624%2C216 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3853_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1292\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First picture on the river<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure what time we put into the river.

We would have only one rapids I\u2019d call whitewater; only that one spot where we had to don our life jackets and put the camera into the dry bag. There were some ripples on the water every so often where we might get splashed a bit, but nothing big.<\/p>\n<p>My attention was drawn first to the geology. The canyon walls are basalt, formed from myriad hexagonal cylinders that stand nearly vertical. The basalt was deposited in several layers. Different layers have different diameters of these \u201ccylinders\u201d. As the walls erode, the cylinders break into rocks that pile up and soil goes on top of the piles. They\u2019re not quite vertical; lean somewhat to the west such that the eastern walls tended to be steeper while the western walls were more sloped. Sometimes the canyon was pretty narrow, other times quite wide.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1293\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3857s\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1293\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1293\" data-attachment-id=\"1293\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3857s\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?fit=1200%2C800\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 20D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1408968781&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;85&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3857s\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?fit=584%2C389\" class=\"wp-image-1293 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?resize=584%2C389\" alt=\"IMG_3857s\" width=\"584\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?resize=1024%2C682 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?resize=624%2C416 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3857s.jpg?w=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1293\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Detail of hexagonal construction of the walls.

While Mark took a nap, I found a spot in the somewhat limited shade of a dead tree. An osprey would station herself above the river, flying in place, hunting trout below. Then she\u2019d fly to a high branch in an evergreen. I wondered if she was resting or still hunting. Before long I had my answer \u2013 she took flight and dove to the water.

Saw a few satellites and identified the flight path the airliners took, probably from Seattle to SF or LA.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1297\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3891s\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1297\" data-attachment-id=\"1297\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3891s\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?fit=800%2C800\" data-orig-size=\"800,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 20D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1409046157&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;46&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3891s\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?fit=584%2C584\" class=\"wp-image-1297 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?resize=584%2C584\" alt=\"IMG_3891s\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3891s.jpg?resize=624%2C624 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Explosives Dangerous<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1298\" style=\"width: 128px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3880s\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1298\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1298\" data-attachment-id=\"1298\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3880s\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3880s.jpg?fit=473%2C1200\" data-orig-size=\"473,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;10&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 20D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1409038799&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;35&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3880s\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3880s.jpg?fit=403%2C1024\" class=\"wp-image-1298 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3880s.jpg?resize=118%2C300\" alt=\"IMG_3880s\" width=\"118\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3880s.jpg?resize=118%2C300 118w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3880s.jpg?resize=403%2C1024 403w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3880s.jpg?w=473 473w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 118px) 100vw, 118px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1298\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Private Crossing<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I started the second day a bit earlier than I anticipated. I awoke perhaps an hour before dawn and watched the reverse process of the night before \u2013 the stars fading one after another as the skies lightened and dawn broke. Once it was light enough to walk, I found my way to the railroad tracks and followed them upstream a bit. In camp, I found a pile of railroad spikes. Here at the tracks, I couldn\u2019t help but notice how many spikes were missing from the ties. I was reassured the next day to find a section of track where the old wooden ties had been replace with new concrete ones.<\/p>\n<p>After Mark cooked a hearty breakfast (and cleaned up and packed up and loaded the boat while I watched), we resumed our float. There\u2019s no shade on the boat and the sun was quite warm. I was just about to ask if we could pull over for some lunch and some shade when we approached a railroad bridge over the river. Above here, the trains ran on the east bank; below us they would run on the west. Just after passing under the bridge, Mark pulled us onto a nice beach.

This was great for daylight but the extra shade limited the star-gazing somewhat. Mark set up his cot near the water while I picked a fairly open place above. I stayed awake as long as I could, watching the sky. A train awoke me sometime in the middle of the night. Mark had \u201cwarned\u201d me that the trains put on quite a light show when they come through, but even so I wasn\u2019t fully prepared. I think of locomotives having one headlight. This train had about a dozen, all very bright. As it came around a corner it lit the entire canyon wall before the next bend had it cast a cone of light on our campsite. Very cool.<\/p>\n<p>The next morning I managed to sleep until nearly dawn. I rolled over onto my right side and saw a deer. She looked at me then bounded into the brush. I got dressed and headed upstream on the access road to a ridge with a trail that leads to the rocks high above our camp. I had no intention of going all the way; just far enough to get a nice view.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1304\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_5929_stitch_crop_resize\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1304\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1304\" data-attachment-id=\"1304\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_5929_stitch_crop_resize\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?fit=3952%2C800\" data-orig-size=\"3952,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1409125661&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?fit=584%2C118\" class=\"wp-image-1304 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=584%2C118\" alt=\"IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize\" width=\"584\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=1024%2C207 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=300%2C60 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?resize=624%2C126 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?w=1168 1168w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_5929_stitch_crop_resize.jpg?w=1752 1752w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Northern Junction early morning pano<\/p><\/div>\n<p>From our campsite, we could see a flag flying on these high rocks. Mark tells me the guy who put it there also has a logbook there. Every year he sends Christmas cards to whoever signs the log. Given a couple extra hours of time in camp (and a pair of hiking boots), I\u2019d have considered going up that far.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of our third morning on the river was White Horse rapids. This was the only time we had to don our life jackets and the only time I had the camera in a dry bag. Mark has been through this on the order of 150 times but he&#8217;s not complacent about it. He knows other seasoned outfitters who&#8217;ve flipped their boats here. Although he doesn&#8217;t need to get out of the boat and scout the rapids from the shore, we did get out so I could see what we were going through. He casually pointed out a couple of rocks: &#8220;That one&#8217;s &#8216;Can Opener&#8217; and over there is &#8216;Oh Shit&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1319\" style=\"width: 594px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3908s\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1319\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1319\" data-attachment-id=\"1319\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/2014\/09\/portland-trip-day-3-5-deschutes-river\/img_3908s\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?fit=1200%2C800\" data-orig-size=\"1200,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;16&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 20D&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1409057527&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3908s\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?fit=584%2C389\" class=\"wp-image-1319 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?resize=584%2C389\" alt=\"IMG_3908s\" width=\"584\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?resize=1024%2C682 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?resize=300%2C200 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?resize=624%2C416 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/grunschev.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/IMG_3908s.jpg?w=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">White Horse Rapids<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yesterday we saw a number of maintenance trucks running up and down the tracks.
