Canoeing the Current River
The children and I made a day trip this week to the Current River in southern Missouri. It was an exceptional day: the water clear, the temperatures mild, the sky a brilliant blue and the river quiet. We came home missing a sandal, an athletic shoe, a pair of sunglasses and a pair of underwear. Anticipating the possibility that some disenchanted evening to come, one of my sons will sue me for defamation of character, I will not tell the underwear story. Suffice it to say, he responded to nature’s call three hours from our destination; we preserved the ecosystem; John Muir would be proud and we shared a good laugh.
Here are a few pictures:
