climb in the morning, soak after lunch, how we do garner
mom loves her VW TDI and now it makes a great tow vehicle for her vintage teardrop trailer. it weighs in around 500 LB.
we typically hike after breakfast. these are not your paved and flat city park trails, loose gravel and steep elevations encourage a real effort.
the kids LOVED this rope swing near our camp site.
the daughter, kat and myself each took a good leap off this rock.
kat cleaned up the trails and the river.
we started down by the river.
if you've heard me talk about how clear the water is at garner, I likely explained that the water is so clear you can count your toes when in water that is up to your shoulders. here is the visual proof, except my toes are in shoes.
I know we should not take bottles to the river, but we ran out of cans and had worked up a thirst.
half over, half under water shot.
the daughter was excited to have taken the pic above, school of fish.
water on the lens makes interesting effect on rock heart pic.
she had collected far more plastic water bottles and aluminum cans than we could possibly carry. then she found this old back pack to help haul the trash out.
she also found a perfectly good T-shirt with a cool robot on it! a reward for cleaning up other people's trash.
stopped for lunch in Johnson City on the way home.
