"FAR from done."

That's what I said in the last post. Let me give you an example....

The weekend began on Friday. Jason Julian brought his staff out for their 6th annual Family Day (2nd annual float). Jason is one of the business owners I truly admire. Just follow Julian Heat and Air and you'll see why. It was an absolute pleasure to put all of them on the river again, not to mention a fun ride back.

Then we get to Saturday....
23 people on a scout trip to get their kayaking badges. They floated from JFK to the Swinging Bridge without much help from the river. With one van down (thanks to a "mechanic" that looks for a fix more than he fixes vehicles...big shout out to CCSO for getting it back to me) it took quite some doing, but they had a great float and everyone got their badges.

Several others floated, and shuttles were run, and though it was a long, fast paced weekend, I can't think of a better way to celebrate my own birthday.

Still, I don't mind that today is very calm 😂

Thank you to everyone that floated this weekend!

As always, I'll see you... Downriver.

Through the heat and generation schedules, we've been super busy. Floats with people marking their third annual float with us as well as those just discovering the Little Red and Greers Ferry have made this a summer to remember. Though we're FAR from done this year, it has already been an outstanding season.
I'm thankful to all who have been with us, yet the rush of the summer had me feeling a little worn.
No worries, I know how to refresh. Call it a little self care. A sunset paddle on the lake eases the mind and rejuvenates the soul.

As always, I'll see you... Downriver.

Happy Saturday!

With a large book donation yesterday, I purged some long-standing books, and they are FREE outside!

Every donation of books allows extra funds to allocate to community interests like donating to local charities and/or buying books that have low discounts. Those titles tend to include local history, self-published titles, etc.
