DHL Obey River

Chilly night last night, as it got down to 30 degrees. The sun did come out today, and it warmed up to low 40's. Today was a longer day. We pulled anchors at 8am, and then dropped them again in the same cove as last night, at 6:30pm. We spent the day exploring the south end of the Obey River, including the West and East forks, as far as we could go. That's until the water depth got down to around 3'. The Obey River is actually the main river channel of Dale Hollow Lake. Today we were in the section south of the Hwy 111 Bridge. The West and East Forks are much narrower and we noticed a current of around 1.5-2 mph flowing in from both Forks, in their narrowest parts. Near an area called Split Rock, on the West Fork, Bill damaged his prop on an underwater rock pile that was not charted. He anchored in the center of the channel and from his Kaboat, changed his prop, while Mike and I had continued on a little farther. Didn't see any other boats out on the water today. Stopped briefly at the East Port Marina to walk through their store. While most of yesterday's snow here melted, we stills saw a lot of Icicles hanging on the rocks just above the water. Saw several water falls as well. My big find today was,... well I'm not exactly sure what it's called. It said "Wake" on the side of it, and looked like a kids small plastic surf board or towable of sorts. (See photo). I gave it to Mike to give to his grand kids.
Mike will be leaving us tomorrow to head home and plans to take off early, at daybreak. So we said our goodbyes tonight.
Late note. Did some quick research with google. The find was a Lifetime Wave 60 Kayak - Youth. (https://www.als.com/lifetime-wave-60-kayak-yout…)Read more
