    rain and shine at grays creek

    Jdupre' leaving the put-in area......what a nice day to start a trip. The water level was up about as high as we have ever seen it there. In 48 hours it dropped a good 2 1/2 feet. Well, either the water went down or the black, sticky mud came up. My new house A two-person size...

    Reaching that magic age

    Well, fellas, i've about gotten to that magic age where the part of me which most reliably swells up and gets stiff is my elbow. As it turns out, my "burseae" decided to blow up. At it's worst it hung like a turkey wattle under my elbow and flopped back and forth. Not really painful, but not...
