I would have loved to made an early spring run but melt down water temps with 38 to 40 degree air temp and little kids does not a good rafting trip make. Even then I might have made a try by myself had the sun been out.<br /><br />I don't know how I'm ever going to top that Gore Canyon run we made a few years back. That was a blast.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-7637589334080520472015-05-26T18:22:57.595-06:002015-05-26T18:22:57.595-06:00The one nice thing about all the extra precipitati...The one nice thing about all the extra precipitation we've been getting is that the rise in water level in the reservoirs equates to increased surface area for waterskiing, etc.<br /><br />We plan to take as much advantage of it this year as possible.

While I like people, its in small groups, not large masses of humanity. <br /><br />I've literally drove one corner of Wyoming to the other and with the exception of in a town done so without passing over a dozen cars. Which is probably why we can drive 80 mph in this state. Back when I lived in MT there was no day time speed limit, and no reason not to go 100 mph plus, except when you were in town. I always slowed down when people were around.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-26478755835375304962015-05-26T13:34:52.948-06:002015-05-26T13:34:52.948-06:00Have never had to throw another in 38 years of mar... <b>Have never had to throw another in 38 years of marriage.</b><br /><br />Got him trained to do it your way, the first time, eh?<br />Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-66480075598469497702015-05-26T13:03:40.618-06:002015-05-26T13:03:40.618-06:00Your comment about crowded roads brought to mind s...Your comment about crowded roads brought to mind something for me. When I was a young mom, we had moved from Vancouver down to east of Salem Oregon. Very small town. Well after getting used to that rural area, my hubby took us up to downtown Portland to purchase a specific camera lenses for himself. <br />They were doing some major transit road construction, so rather than pay $3 to park for an hour, he expected me to drop him off and then drive around the block. <br /> Bear in mind that I had only been driving for a year or so, did not know anything about downtown Portland. So the idea that I was supposed to drive around the block sent me into a panic attack so bad, my husband was forced to relent. <br />My kids were most impressed by the fit that their mom threw. Have never had to throw another in 38 years of marriage.<br /><br />I can still feel the panic even now when I think about driving in the urban downtown area of Portland. Part of it may have even been that due to the fact that I am short statured, I can get a little claustrophobic when I can't see where I am going.<br /><br />I truly do not think that God ever intended for His creation to live is such large cities. It does something to your soul that isn't right. Then there is the example of the Tower of Babel. God broke that up right quick. Susannoreply@blogger.com
