LOTS of Wildlife on the Mountain. We Had 2 Ground Hogs Outside Our Window in the Morning Before...
... Loading Up The Canoes & Heading For The Shenandoah River.
It Was a Gorgeous Day For a Float.
We'll Summit the Mountain Another Day, For Now It's Time To Relax on the River.
We Were Able to Get Close to the Put-In w/ The Canoes.
John & Patti Are Pro's. They Dropped Us Off & Picked Us Up @ The Dam.
There Was Even a Nice Slide to Get The Canoes Down the Hill to the River.
AJ & Will Are Ready For An Adventure (And They'll Get It).
John Gave a Few Last Instructions (Very Few of Us Had Even Been Canoeing).
I Can Hear The Music in the Background!
Keep Paddling Girls - It's Time for My Snack!
Most of Our Float Was Smooth Paddling.
Relaxing on the River, Enjoying the Scenery.
At Time We Got Separated, But...
... We Eventually Reconnected.
The Water Was Low & We Got Stuck a Few Times.
We're Searching For a Shady Spot For Lunch....
Hey, Who's This Crawlin' Along Our Log?
Our Canoes Were Parked in the Shallows.
Here's Where We Came From, And...
... Here's Where We're Headed.
OK - Back in the Canoes Everyone!
That Means The Adults Too!
Make Sure Your Life Vest is Secure, Because...
... We Rearranged Some Passengers & Eric, AJ & Will Capsized As We Got Started. Eric Wanted to Replace His Cell Phone Anyway!
Eric Finished Bailing - Back in The Canoe Boys!
The Trip Was Expected to Take 2 Hours - We Finished in 4.5, Then John & Patti Did It in 90 Minutes!!
