Camping : The Jacks Fork & The Current Rivers

This past weekend Matt and I went on a float trip with our friends Catie and Mike, our partners in Sower's Row. Last year Matt and I took a canoe down the Current River and floated nearly 30 miles if I remember correctly. This year we took a shorter trip of 22 miles. We put in at Alley Spring and ended up at Owls Bend.

This trip was a little more extravagant than our last. We ate foil packs filled with potatoes, red peppers, onions, and brats, s'mores, bacon, and eggs. Last year I think we brought a can of beans! These are the only two camping trips I have been on since I camped with my parents at K.O.A. camp sites. Much more rough! I woke with bruises all over my tush from sleeping on rocks.

We found the best swimming spot and brought along a diving mask. Man, was this the investment of a lifetime! It was the first time I could see under water since I could remember. As I'm nearly blind I prefer to wear contacts and of course I can't open my eyes under water so that diving mask was such a treat!

We are planning to go in September but with kayaks this time!

Back to Blogging

I have decided to come back to blogging after a year's hiatus. Over the last year I decided to stay teaching at my current school an hour away from the home we have rented for the past three and a half years. 

Matt and I married on May 25th, our four year anniversary. Though it has only been a month I find myself saying I want to marry this man, only to have to remind myself that we were just married!

I am going to start writing about the past year and sharing photos that have started gathering "cyber spider webs." I will share some personal artwork and begin covering updates on Sower's Row through the season. First to come are the wedding photos!
