Yakdaddy’s River Ramblings

My journal of river runs and repository for the various water related thoughts of my oft distracted mind…whitewater from my perspective.

To boat or not to boat update…

Posted by yakdaddy on January 13th, 2008

Well, after much deliberation and a great weekend of off-the-river activities, it looks like the verdict for this weekend has come down to NOT.  While this is indeed a sad situation in that the whitewater was in plentiful supply this weekend, it’s not all that bad.  The kids had friends over Friday night, the cheerleading went well Saturday morning, and the geocaching yesterday afternoon was truly enjoyable!

While all those positives would normally add up to a guilt-free day on the water, there were just too many things left undone around the house so I passed on a consolation Nolichucky trip with a crew of friends that are probably loading up the shuttle car(s) right now and heading to the put in.

 Oh well - it’s not like the river will be gone next week…

Peace on earth and whitewater to all,

    Give my congrats to Abby for her Cheerleading debute! Which one is she in the photo? You can not see their faces very well… I am guessing she is the tall one. Have a productive work week! It looks like this coming weekend is going to be a cold one.
