Ash River

We took a pontoon ride with the other two workamper couples.  We went to the Ash River.  The Ash River dumps into Namakan right at the border between Lake Kabetogama and Namakan.  We used to stay at a campground on the Ash River about twenty years ago.  There are also several resorts and a houseboat rental business on the river.  We stopped at a resort called Ashkanam.  They have a bar and restaurant right on the bank of the river and a nice dock.  

The ride over to the Ash River was a little rough with some pretty good wind but we were fine because we were going with the wind.  We lucked out coming back because the wind had died down by then.  It is a very nice perk to be able to use any of the rental boats when they are not being rented by guests.  We just have to pay for the gas.  Unfortuanately, now our boat is in the shop -- the motor needs work- and all of the resort boats have been rented for the week so no fishing for now.  We are hoping the motor problem is simple and covered by the warranty.
