Bigfork River

   The Bigfork River is a large part of of my book "The River Calls". This is no accident. This river is the lifeblood of the entire area and has been since the beginning of time. 

   In the spring it runs wild and free, splashing and churning with several rapids that not even the best canoeists would attempt. The excitement runs high for its entire course of many miles. The snowmelt makes this great river a sight to behold.

   But summer is a different story. Its mood changes to a gentle flow suitable to a sightseeing day of paddling. 

   Fall sees the river reflecting the colors of autumn. Red and gold leaves float downstream until they become waterlogged and sink to the bottom. The leaves provide a source of nourishment to the river.

   Winter is a time of quiet very cold days. But beneath the surface, schools of large fish still hunt for their dinner. Life and death battles go on without a break. Muskrats, otter and beaver are active under the ice. 

   What you see on the surface belies the furious activity beneath the ice. Each time you see a small patch of open water, you're likely to see an eagle sitting on a branch close by, waiting for something edible to make a mistake.

   In "The River Calls" we see life and death battles everywhere. That's what life is all about. Old guys like this author have seen a life filled with battles, some big some not so big, but we must have won them all or we wouldn't still be writing.

  You can find the EBook Kindle edition of "The River Calls" at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day.
