Second Float....Beyond our home

For our second float of the summer, we were interested in exploring what was down stream from our house. There is a Elks campground (very nice looking) just a few miles away, so Jered parked his rig there, and we launched from out in front of our house. Less than 500 yards from the starting point, we had to get out and walk for a minute to get around a giant tree that crossed our path. Other than that, it was smooth sailing......kinda.
The Cow Parsnip is blooming everywhere. It looks great with the green.
There appeared to be an abundance of agriculture land down stream from us. These guys (and two more) decided to come down and visit us as we passed by. Maybe they thought we were going to drink all of the water, so they needed to make sure they got one last drink. Yum, that makes me thirsty just thinking about it.
There were just as many beautiful waterfalls below us as there was above.

Yay, after almost three hours we passed the first bridge, one more to go. I didn't think it was going to take that long.......
But then yet, as we approach the second bridge (which equaled out to over six hours of floating:) I appear to be so sad........
It was a long day, but there wasn't another place I would rather be. More floating to come!!!!
