Erin on the Shepaug
Monday, July 30th, 2007
Washington, Connecticut. My granddaughter Erin, my wife and I spent the afternoon boulder hopping on the Shepaug River a few miles south of here. This was a big deal for Erin who loves to walk up and down the bed of our stream but had never been on a big river like this one. The boulders behind her are in the middle of the river and we had to carefully (me with camera pack) boulder-hop out here, scaring a great blue heron away in the process.
Once we set up "camp" on the boulder we explored and swam all around it, Anne did yoga on the boulder and Erin waded out into the fast current.
My friend Gary and I had discovered this spot a few weeks ago so I knew about it. I’m sure I’m going to return here often as it’s a great place to hang on a hot day.
What a fun time that would be! We dont’ have clean streams like that in Kansas. Yeah! for Erin
Pam: I’m not sure how clean it is, I doubt one would want to drink it, but it’s fine for swimming. Erin did great, she’s quite the adventurer.
