Canoe

Had a great time camping with Byron and boy scouts this weekend. Took a canoe trip down one of the rivers. Not too fast of a ride, but enough that we actually felt it moving. The water was deep in a few spots though the water level was low and in places scrapped bottom and had to get out and wade through to lift the canoe out. The scenery was beautiful, with cliff walls and lots of trees and forestation. Stopped several times for breaks, eat lunch, etc. We left the campsite after breakfast and made it back in time for dinner.

The new tent worked out great. Unfortunately it was dark Friday night when we got there, and it was my first time taking it out, so it took some fumbling but finally got it.

Byron enjoyed running around with the other boys, playing with the fire, and hanging out in general. We stayed only one night and not two because I think Byron had had enough by then, and then that's when the rain started too, so it was probably fine that we headed back through the storm. It rained all night and early into Sunday morning.
