New Years Eve Paddle

Pete, Kristen and I went on a white water paddle of the Woolen Mills run on the Rivanna River. It was a great day with me finding a baby alien toy hanging onto a branch in the river. I named her April the Alien and she made it through all the rapids unscathed.







Enjoy the video. I haven't posted one in a while. This may look deliberate and graceful - it was unplanned and not what you plan on doing through a rapid. I'll continue to pretend it was intentional however.

Christmas Eve Eve

I can't believe it has been over a month since I've posted anything. We have not done many hikes or floats, but we have put up a Christmas tree. Who would have thought I could be doing a white water paddle on Christmas Eve Eve? It was 58 degrees with the water just a wee bit cooler. Afterwards, we went on a tour of the lights of Charlottesville. Very interesting.

I would love to have my own footbridge
