a swim in a river...

we've finally hit weather that's good for swimming, and rivers that don't have ice floating in them... there haven't been too many swimming possibilities yet, but i'm hoping there's more soon...




the first shot is looking downstream from the bridge... looked like a great river for floating down if you had the time, although there are some pretty gnarly bits...





if you check out that little 'beach' area on the right hand side of the second picture, near where a creek's entering the river; that's where we had lunch and dunked ourselves in the water... felt so good...









this was a fork of the feather river, and there was a cool, high footbridge over it...






this is our lunch spot - with happy whale, head banger, nicole & chris...







the cool, high bridge was perfect for throwing stuff off, which apparently these guys do a lot...
