Flume the river under main street, what can go wrong?

17 Aug 2018–Woke, made tea in the JetBoil to start the day, found the showers empty so snuke in for a warm, wet start to the day.  The group, deciding the night before, departed at 0930 for a ride to Sandon.  Sandon was a prosperous silver mining town that rerouted the river under main street, but as mother nature prevailed, the river escaped that man-made wooden tunnel and destroyed the town.  Then came fire, and finally silver went out of vogue, so it is now a ghost town and museum.

On to the festivities, more pressing than touring a bygone mineral operation, was the International CAN-AM cup.  USA vs Canada.  Frisbee golf.  It was a contentious affair, challenging and competitive.  Despite Canada recruiting some members for its team whose nationality was in question, prevailed.  Although the CAN-AM committee is working with US&Canadian Immigration on eligibility of some of the Canadian teammates.  After dinner at the community center, the Canadians rejoiced and behaved with unsportsmanlike conduct.
