The anticipation of a snow storm thrills me as much as it does the kindergartners who wear their pj's inside out and backwards and flush ice down the toilet. I marvel at huge thunderstorms that rolls through in the summertime and leave amazing rainbows in their wake. I watch with wonder as the flood waters rise and track the hurricanes that may possibly hit land near my home.

Here's the Boat Launch, which is usually a 4-5 feet drop from the parking lot to the river.
Check out the picnic pavilion along the river. Soggy dogs on the grill!
