4th on the 5th

We completed our fourth float of the summer on the fifth day of July. As always, it was super beautiful (not always meaning sunny though). There were clouds in the sky as we arrived to our future campsite (mom's place), dropped off our vehicle and gear, then headed out to the road to catch a ride up into the gorge with my grandma.




We pushed off just below some rocky looking rapids. The clouds had not totally broken off; we were in for an overcast float.
The first half of the float had absolutely no houses. That was a welcome change of pace, although it is kinda fun to fantasize about the lives of people living in the awesome river homes.
It looked as if this tree was floating in mid air, I couldn't tell what was holding it up! There must be elves around.

We were very smart I think in getting out and walking by these rapids. Since the sun never did come out, I was not in the mood to get totally soaked and not have a change of clothes.
It may have done more than get me wet though!
This beautiful waterfall is right smack dab in the middle of Moonshine Park. We drove through the park on the 3rd, and it was packed to the brim with people. Today, as we float by, a loan father and daughter stand at the shore, casting their fishing poles.
What the heck is up with that rock??
Another beautiful waterfall. We drifted a little further, then set up the rest of camp. It rained a little throughout the night, but a great place to be on the fifth of July!
