Notes

It was a nice, clear blue sky afternoon with relatively warm weather. Some nice sunshine was coming in from my seating position. There was vegetation growing all around as green grass grew up the shorelines and occasional patches of moss grew but mostly on rocks. At the bottom in the water was slimy and murky, super easy to slip on and I could not see to the bottom. There were occasional flee gaggles around the water that made buzzing noises. There was some mushrooms growing on some fallen trees along the shoreline. The current was fairly come except it grew stronger in the rapids. There was some trash hidden in the rocks, I found a Styrofoam cup and a water bottle.
