All right. These are in no real order...
Myself and Jake. On the end of the paddle are a pair of shorts we found in the river, from a distant past.
More train bridge.
Jake went swimming, in all his clothes...
Jake getting back in the canoe was rough...

These are in a series...it wouldn't swing for me.
Now, the evening. Jesse and I give what for to the ceder.
I caught a frog and named him Frankie.
It was a good day out on the river. Really hot, got myself a good sunburn. Tomorrow I think I'm going camping. Swank.
I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I wanted this week. Mostly because I had forgotten my camera and had to paddle back to the car to get it. Along with the flashlight.
Me being a drunk goofball.
Our Fire.
The Gang.
Jesse and Jason.
Its near our camping spot.
Venus...sorta.
Sooooo... on March sixth I totally went canoeing with my bud Mike. Apparently it's still icy in places; who knew? To be fair I wanted to be on the water in January when I saw that it had opened up a little. So here are pictures. The ice has broken up a lot at the point of the Hammond I live on, but I want to launch up stream and take some pictures of the bigger chunks of ice that are still on the shore.
Launch point bridge: (this is also the last photo I took)
How we launched involved smashing:
The corner to go up river: (if you turn left from the launch you can go up, but it's frozen)
Canoe:
Down river/Up River: (sounds weird, but it's true)
The concrete bridge:
Ice on the marshy bank: (the water lapped at the ice here in a way that produce a sound that I still cannot identify)
So yea. Back on the river. Sorry dial up; if you still exist.
Thanks for the pics Lightstarr.
My Dad used to go eel fishing in the Hammond.. back in the 70's

I lived on McAlpine Dr..
