Since nothing much is being posted here anymore, I thought I'd share a few pics I took during a weekend camping trip at the river over the weekend. I was there on both Prayer Meeting and River Day so I thought it would be appropriate to show them here.
These were taken at the Glade Creek Campground along the New River. Except for a little storm on Friday, the weekend was great for camping.
Enjoy the pics.
That's right folks, two River Day posts on the same day, but this one happened more than 6 years ago! Other than Jay, I have no idea who all was there.
I came across the old point-and-shoot camera I used to use for River Day pics and checked the card for any photos. Low and behold I found a handful of shots from 8/17/15, and confirmed that I never made a post from that day.
Sorry I don't have any story to go with the pics but thought I'd post them anyway. Why keep 'em to myself, right?
From the pics, it looks like we were at the beach at Mill Creek, along the river, but if anyone has any memory of it, please comment.
Enjoy and Happy River Day (again)!
Warmer than usual temps for this time of year allowed us to spend at least part of River Day outside - heck, we even had a fire! Maybe not the best fire on the river, but certainly the best fire on Franklin Ave.
Only 3 of us this Monday - Ted, Jay and me. And no, we didn't do any trash talking about the guys that weren't there. Another missed opportunity. Oh well.
In true Rivertarian style, we did attempt something a little unusual: balancing beer cans (Yuengling, of course) on top of a metal ball, floating in a backyard fish pond. Too much time on our hands maybe? We also tried to pull the last of the beans off Jay and Lori's plants. Some of them were hiding pretty well.
Not much else to add. Just a nice relaxing afternoon gathering.
Thanks also to Jay for finding and hanging on to Hayden's long lost water bottle for school!
Happy River Day!
We had warmer than usual temps with 60's on Wednesday, then daytime temps around 55. Nights were low to mid 40's. We did get more rain than usual, with a monsoon rolling in Thursday night and into Friday. We had plenty of shelters set up so there were enough dry places to stay out of it.
We go to enjoy something new this year: open showers in the campground! Made the fee much less painful to make.
There were also more (other) campers in the park this year: 4 other groups at one time or another. Oh well, they didn't bother us, and I hope we didn't bother them.
The rest of this post is the collection of pictures taken during the trip. Hope everyone enjoys:
