Eternite - The river of eternal happiness

So with there being so much water in Quebec and the snow pack still holding strong all the normal creek runs like the Valine too high or to low, BUT it has made some of the cool continuous classy runs perfect and with the local knowledge of Pat Levesque we set out to do the rivere eternite. With the continuous Nature of this river I didnt manage to get any pictures, the river is class four, with some cool moves and some wicked eddie hopping, this definitely tests the team, but with a solid crew we got down with no trouble at all. At the end whilst we were enjoying the beautiful scenery we were stopped by a park warden shouting things at us, good thing that tyler and I were ahead of group because we didn't understand a word he was saying.  Pat eventually came to the rescue and talked to the warden who actually spoke perfect english, and he said that he was the Park Warden and we were participating in unauthorised activity in the park and told us to vacate the river and meet him at the car. With that we got out, and walked to our cars where we were greeted by a few more rangers with warm smiles and polite hellos which definitely settled the nerves. We eventually found out that kayaking was not allowed on the river as it was too dangerous, originally thinking that we just needed to pay for access, the ranger did the rounds asking for ID, lucky I "left" mine at home and that I was a traveller. Any who, here are some pictures of the take out.
