Yesterday, I spent about 5 wonderful hours communing with nature along with several friends as we spent the late morning and early afternoon kayaking on the Duck River in southern middle Tennessee. During this “float” as we like to call it, we encountered a rope swing tied to a very large tree that had fallen [...]
I joined some friends and their families on a five hour float on the Duck River near Columbia,TN today. We left arabout 10:30am from The River Rats canoe rental and did the six mile float. It was a gorgeous day, not too hot and with some cloud cover. Several of us were in kayaks and [...]
