BUFFALO RIVER CANOE TRIP 5/17/08 |
Arriving at Steel Creek |
I guess there will be "three" in this canoe? |
Bobby and Donna making their way to the river |
Bill lining up his kayak |
This dog was afraid of the water, so he stayed inside the canoe! |
|
We made our own launch site |
||
Finally, we made it to the river |
It was going to be a great day for canoeing |
Mac sneaking out from behind a rock |
Ah, so "calm" and "peaceful" |
The Price's favorite canoe, not a dent anywhere on it! |
Yes, we were just cruising along, nice! |
...and yes this was Tony's first kayaking trip, too. |
...yeah, and see what happens when you least expect it! |
...they say pride goeth before the fall, I'm thinking is goes afterwards! |
Ah, but calm once again |
We were up there a few weeks ago...Goats Bluff |
Dr. Monfee, Rhonda and Mac |
She got in and she ain't getting out |
....well for some reason....she got out! |
..remember the "pride" thing? |
...but yes, that calm thing once again |
Even Jim's Bluff was calm |
Is that Gerry and Dale on California Point? |
..and is that one of those Trigg boys jumping off the bluff? |
Well their father did it first! |
So now for a little lunch |
Has anyone seen Char?
|
||
Looking down from California Point, hoping our canoes don't float off. |
The Price Family and the Hemmer Family |
|
Was that her jumping? Yes I believe it was! |
The family that rubs backs together.....doesn't get a sunburn. |
One with, one without! |
We've eaten, now onward |
Launching into the "deep" No...shallow today. |
|
It is bad when you have to hike across the river to go hiking |
||
...but that is how we had to get to Hemmed In Hollow Falls |
...and there is was, swaying in the wind. |
Lots of folks out today, enjoying the nice weather and the falls |
We even meet Peggy Tilley along the way |
||
Now to load up and hit the river |
A little rough in spots and a whole lot of calm |
My view |
|
||
Our first kayak trip and we liked it. |
This was Tony's friend that tried to get in the boat with him. Never seen Tony move so fast, not even when he runs a marathon. |
The Price girls spent plenty of time in the river, instead of on the river! |
|
||
Arriving at Kyle's Landing.....and so quick! |
|
It was a great day, great folks, great weather, a little excitement from time to time, but a nice outing. If you missed it, too bad, maybe next year. |
