Kayaking

My husband and I went kayaking on Lake Jocasse Sunday.
We haven't been in a while and as is our usual M.O. - we probably stayed a little too long...
or paddled a little too far.
We put in at about 1:30 and were packing up at about 7:30.
Lots and lots of paddling - apx. 12 miles or so.
And yes, we have some awesome biceps...oh - pictures of that later...

Last year during the drought, we went to the same place at Jocasse - looking for the waterfalls that are so talked about.
But when we got there, there was no waterfall...
anywhere...
nothing but a bunch of big ole rocks and a tiny trickle of water...
hmmm...
but this year - WOW! The water is back and it is magnificent!


The closer we got, the more tree limbs and logs there were.
It was kinda difficult to paddle through them but we persevered.

I have no idea how tall this particular waterfall is

but we lost sight of it after about 150 feet.

(I looked the info up and it is a tad over 200 feet tall).

There is also a couple of pretty big ones to the side of the main fall.

Along with a muscadine vine that would be great for some little ole bear...

These rocks are hu-mon-gus...

Here's the view after we got out of the kayak -

standing on a sandy area right at the base of the falls.

Three unhappy fishermen - they told us they were "not having any luck" that day.

But boy, we sure did!

I'll post more photo's tomorrow.

We found so many beautiful things to look at.

Nature is so inspiring.

She knows it all.
