Whitewater Heaven

Damn the rain, thank God for the rain. The rain transforms Osage Creek in the Gorge into a dominant feature of our homesite. It thunders all around us , it is visible for a good 200 yards of boiling rapids from where our deck will be perched not 70 yards away. We will be able to watch the kayaks run the rapids from the deck above, hopefully I will join them. There is a trail along the top of the bluffs of the Gorge where you can look down on the creek and almost scout the rapids. When it rains, the Gorge becomes a special place and an excitement is in the air. But what I need is dry, dry ,dry. That day will come, but for now I will enjoy the awesome beauty of the Osage Gorge in full flood.
