Summertime...

Summertime,
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

We couldn't resist getting out on the Ogeechee yesterday. It was Levi's longest canoe trip thus far - over an hour & a half on the water - made possible by toys & snacks. We dropped the Mazda off downstream - so it was a lovely paddle/float with no back tracking upstream.

putting our gear in


the put-in had really been washed out - quite a drop down - along the edges of the water you can see how tannic the water is - beautiful

the Ogeechee River - we spotted 3 gators along the way - many, many birds - and got right on top of a riverside doe before she startled away

my sexy river guide - after working three years as a guide, I'm always amazed by Joe's ability to securely tie down any craft with the meerest bits of rope - our trusty Toyota, enjoying the easy days of its retirement as our river/hunt vehicle
