May
9th & 10th, 2008 -
Shannon and I spent two nights camping on the Nolichucky
River with some good friends, while also canoeing from "Big
Rock" to Jackson Bridge.
On
Friday night we set up camp, and ate like kings as our friend
Jeff Lane fixed us all rib-eyes and baked potatoes. We
also had a great campfire and enjoyed our evening.

On
Saturday morning, Jeff cooked a breakfast of sausage biscuits, and
we soon headed out on our canoeing trip. Shannon and I had a
couple of close calls in the early rapids, but we managed to stay
dry the entire trip. I did a little fishing, but only caught
two. "Boy Shannon" was the fishing champ on
both days by catching over 60 total.
The
second night Jeff cooked us a wonderful meal again of bratwurst
and cheeseburgers. We had another great night and slept well
by the river. |
