Coppermine River trip-July 29th, 1975

My father took a bunch of amazing trips through his life and I came across his journal for some of them.  I thought I would take some time to transcribe one of the trip.  He also took a large amount of photos on these trips, and when we get the converted to digital, I'll revisit this log and add the photos to them.  I am having a bit of trouble reading Dad's writing, so I apologize in advance for any mistakes.  So here goes.

January 29th, 1975

Edmonton to Yellow Knife

• Visit to Y.K. "Giant" Mine
• Ore samples from dump
• Flew into Red Rock Lake
• Paddled in 107 mile
• 2 1 # togue - Cleaver caught 3-4 lb on daredevil.
• One mild rapid - very heavy current
• Cleaver Bags last
• I did not sleep well. Sun woke me at 3:00 am in N.E. (set in N.W.)
• Lake Trout Day (Cleaver)
• Forest Fire in NW on way in

I am not sure about the statement "Cleaver Bags last".  Bags is my best guess.  Cleaver was one of the other people on the trip.  Maybe someone can come up with a better transcription, so I'll add images of each of the pages to the blog.
