July 19, 2015–Day 14 Hiwassee Day 2

ADRENALINE OVERLOAD DAY 2

Cody woke up and checked on Snaily, Jr. Snaily, and Mini Snaily.  We found more smaller snails hiding on our picnic table. Scott took Cody to the creek on the path from our campsite.  The kids worked on reconstruction of The Lost Creek.  After cleaning up our mats, sheets, and sleeping bags I eased on down to the creek to see what they were up to.  I caught a quick picture of Cody’s wet footprints as he scurried across the rocks. It turns out it is easier to catch a picture of his footprints than a picture of him.

Day 11: July 24th, 2014 Dinosaur Nation Park, Utah to Moab, Utah

It had been raining on and off throughout the night, but the tiny drops would evaporate almost as soon as they fell, so we postponed putting on the fly since it was so hot.  At 4:50 it seemed the rain was finally getting serious so we got up to put the fly on, but alas it only lasted fifteen minutes or so.  It really wasn’t such a loss of sleep after all though as Scott and I struggled to sleep with the hot temps all night.  The clouds acted as a blanket keeping in most of the almost one hundred degree day temp.  So when Scott’ alarm went off at 6:30 we were already awake.  We were not quite as boisterous as the guides we met at 8:30, but the rapids and slightly chilly water helped with waking us up the rest of the way.
