A Friday tour, different, but still better than working for the day. We traveled the same tour today as we did last week, but were joined by 2 more guests. Tom Hundt and Pat Stephens, join Bill, Teresa, and Myself on this perfect day. Temperatures for the day were at 78° with sunny skies and a slight breeze, that worked for us more than it was against us. We finished our 10.75 mile trip, at a faster pace of 4.0 miles per hour, about .8 faster than last week, but none of us felt we worked any harder on the paddles. The water temperature had dropped down to 66° so a bit brisk at first, but still a comfortable day. The river stage had dropped slightly to 4.3 but still a great height for our trip.
We saw Deer, Blue Herons, several Eagles, and again we were surrounded by Geese–a couple of them remembered Bill calling them from last week, they were very interested in hearing if his language “call” had improved.
NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO WATCH THIS AS A SLIDESHOW–JUST CLICK ON ANY PICTURE, AND IT WILL ENLARGE AND THEN JUST SCROLL THROUGH THE SHOW USING THE ARROW “KEYS”. ENJOY.
The videos have to be played outside of the slideshow–I am working on figuring that out.
