Johnboy forgot his PFD. Imagine that. Not the way to start off a trip. Cold day in January. Raining. Oddly enough, it was a perfect day on the water. The Cartecay was the highest we've ever run it. Great flow.
After picking up a child size orange floatie thing for John at the BP, we were on our way to the put-in. The nice thing about cold days on the river is that you have it all to yourself. No fighting for position to get on the waves. No locals with a cooler full of putrid yellow swill standing in the middle of the choice line.
Spent three hours getting as much joy as the river could provide. When the shivers set in we decided not to push our luck and bailed. Gave up the coveted only legal parking space at the takeout to the next batch of crazies who were braving the cold.
Incredible day in God's creation with two great freinds.
Thanks to John and David for the fun and to the Creator of it all for the river.
