Contained within that drybag was my brother's wallet! We didn't notice that the bag was missing until - after - the several hour paddle trip. After much searching we decided to try heading back down the Mainline to see if, by chance, it were somewhere along the road. Much to our amazement, just a few miles down the dirt road we found the bag - still laying in the road - complete with his wallet!! Looking forward to more posts about that area.
