L-R: Nick, Danny, Dan, Josi, Katie, Paul and Kim.
Yesterday, Sept. 10, Dan and Josi and I, with several friends - Danny, Paul and his kids, Nick and Katie - went to kayak the James River again, from Pony Pasture to Reedy Creek. The river was high, the day was warm and sometimes sunny, and it was just glorious. We had a few newbies along (and you know who you are), but they did great and we had a lot of fun.
At one point, Katie ran into a rock and got stuck, and then Josi ran into Katie and tipped over. Then Paul had to get out of his boat (he was paddling the canoe with Nick) and Dan held it while Paul helped Josi empty the water out of her boat so she could continue on.
We had a few other minor mishaps like that, but nothing we couldn’t handle.
We got a late start, so we ended up getting home around 11 p.m. We had dinner at the fanciest Arby’s I’ve ever seen - fresh sandwiches and salads, fresh cookies and brownies - it was surprisingly good.
Another great day on the water. More pics are here.

Hey Kim,
Got your message the other day but forgot to tell Sally. I will today. Hey looks like we are at the one month count down. Hope the weather is good for the JT/Lacky trip. JT is a very cool town for sure.

Sorry to post post, but we should get a run in on the mighty James before heading North. You in?
