White water

Derek Mark raises his paddle to salute the next boat through the rapids while Rodney Mark cheers from the stern of the canoe. They have just navigated another set of rapids on the Old Factory River.  Travelling fast water is exciting and takes some skill.  These skills are acquired with advice and demonstrations from the guides as the young people travel down the river.  There are portage trails at each of the bigger rapids. The photo was taken 1996.
