First October Weekend


Last weekend was the first weekend that nobody went into the water above their ankles.  The cooler temperatures, however, did not discourage anyone from enjoying the river and the autumn color.  We arrived late on Saturday after completing many chores at our neglected first home.

On Sunday morning we made our first river journey by canoe.  Our large aluminum vessel is adequate for parents fore and after, with kids hanging on in the middle.  The river was not so much high as it was fast-moving.  Mommy and daddy made a quick (and wise) last-minute decision to take portage at the shelf.  After a potty break in the weeds and a canoe-drag to the other side, we were on our way again.

Thanks, Nick, for the shuttle back to pick up the car.
