Hey, all...Phyl/David, this was on the Roswell part of the river...close to the Holcomb Bridge exit on 400...

Goose/duck???  not sure, but lot's of poo on the dock from whatever they are!

Not hitting people with the OAR, is quite a challenge when you're carrying them around on land - I was very afraid I was going to knock someone off the dock! 

NancyMc, I'll try to keep the shoulders relaxed :D, NancyL, I hope to try riding a horse next - never ridden a horse - should be interesting!

Looks like a Canada Goose to me. They live at the Jersey Shore year round now (they don't bother to migrate anymore) and are very, very messy. When they first started appearing around here some 25 -30 years ago everyone thought they were cute; now they're considered a major pest. Border collies can keep them away for a while ... but they always come back.

Cindy~
Sorry I have missed this until now - WAY TO GO, GIRL!!!!  I went white water rafting a couple of summers ago and ABSOLUTELY loved it!!  I found it wonderful to be doing something like that again - I thought the water seemed to make it easier - I guess it has something to do with SITTING instead of standing!!  I told Dave that ANYTIME we were somewhere that offered something like that, I wanted to do it!!

ENJOY!!

Thanks for the photos.  Very scenic - and inspiring.  Now I feel like a slacker.  ;)

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Donnalynn, we were rowing three times a week for our lessons.  I hope to continue to row at least twice a week...

You guys are all so sweet - I don't feel like this was really that much of an accomplishment...especially compared to our awesome standup paddleboarders, Stoneaxe and JB!  But, I did want to let other newbies, pre-posties and just turned-posties see another example of how life can indeed go on...and quite well...after AN treatment.

Now, to wrangle/lasso/catch me a horse to ride...

Yeehaw. 

You may be too young to remember this, Cindy.  But off hand do you remember the Chattahooche Raft Race back in the 70's.  I have a very blurry recollection of starting the race at Holcome Bridge.  Great memories from what I seem to recall.
