Heaven is Just Down the Road

Well alright then, I feel so much better spending 3 days on the river with some great company and just soaking it all in. I wish that I could load pictures so I could share some  great scenes, and I will get that done asap. But right now, I just feel so much more energized and I wish we had gotten more rain last night, becouse we need more to take my dad down the river. We had planned to do just that this coming weekend, but the river is too low, please do your rain dances. There is not much rock work left to do, and I am starting on hardwood flooring this week, so the house is moving along. I really feel ready to get after it again, so I will fill you all in on my progress soon.But wow, took long hike up Sneed creek mostly wading in the solid bedrock pools and millruns and scouted this beautiful creek for a kayak run. The run will require being shuttled 2 miles down into the canyon on mules carrying our boats, thankfully, I am friends with a man who owns mules and rides this trail often. Oh yea, he also lives at the Compton trailhead where the ride begins. This is all just serendipity to me, and it means that this adventure must be undertaken. Ride mules down a 2 mile steep mountain trail, jump in boats and paddle 2 miles in a swollen class 3 Sneed creek into a flooded Buffalo River for 4 miles to Kyles Landing. How cool! Add this to my list. Get out and enjoy this great weather friends, and SYOTRS RJ
