Adventure

We enjoyed our day on the river- stopping at sandy beaches to walk around, and cool off in the water.

 

We found that because of the unusually long time having high water this Summer, more sand beaches were created than we've ever seen.

We are talking SAND not mud! Perfect for skiing off of, or picnics, or for children to play with buckets and shovels.

This Bald Eagle, tucked back into the tree, kept an eye on us. :)

We enjoyed the scenery, and relaxed...

Finally, it was time to head back- and that's when we spied....

an abnormally large floater, sticking only 10 inches above the water.

It was HUGE! and dangerous, and in the path we normally drove our boat.  We worried, that if they raised the water level of the reservoir, the floater would be barely below the water line- Deadly to boaters.

We decided to try to move it. Bruce tied a loop in our boat rope.

but every time we tried to move forward, the rope just slipped off the log.

We had no choice but to leave it... but we're going to try to go back with flagging material on Sunday.

Stay safe people.
