Well, here are some photos of the beginning and end of the trip down the Hiwassee! I gave my camera to a friend to keep and didn't see her again until the end! It was wonderful floating down the river on a perfectly splendid Sabbath afternoon. Slowly gliding past farms, cottages, fields of corn, cows grazing, kids playing, others floating, glider planes and white fluffy clouds above; clear water with rocks and fish below; is a wonderful way to spend a hot summery day. The water was refreshing and clean(ish), - you know! - heavenly!
Afterward we had a picnic supper and got to bed rather late - going on 10, I think it was!!

| Many of us brought floaties this time, rather than all canoes. |
 |
| These are the ones we brought - the yellow/blue ones have a little see-through window at the top end to look through at the fish and crawdads below! |
 |
| At the end we hauled our vehicles back to the top end to collect the top vehicles and have our picnic at Gee Creek campground. |
 |
| Trying to pack all the stuff into fewer vehicles. |
 |
| This is at the lower end. |
 |
| Let's eat!! And yay, no flies this year! |

Every time we go on this little excursion, I wish we could do it more often. Seems like we only get to it about once a year, though. That HAS to change!!!
