>>We paddled from Dead Dog to Liberty Lake area
on Saturday and didn't find it.<<

So on Friday someone got your kayak, and on
Saturday they got my paddle. Sounds like we're
outfitting someone rather nicely at our
expense!

Seriously though, sorry to hear about your kayak
and your swim. I know EXACTLY how you feel, since 
I did the same thing 24 hours later.

Here's hoping both of us benefit from the honesty 
of someone downriver.
