A day on the river, July 4, 2007
Enjoying the Whitewater River in SouthEast Indiana.
Kayaks and coordination by Whitewater Canoe Rental.
Leah stands in line to sign up while I snap a few photos.
Signed up and waiting for the bus.
The place was teeming with young people.
And one annoying guy taking pictures while people board the bus.
Bus number one is full and ready to roll.
Our turn to pay.
And we get on the second bus.
A windy ride.
Through town.
And finally, we're on the river.
Some folks took a break right away.
Not everyone was cool about being photographed.
At some times, it got a bit crowded.
Even the turtles were getting out of the water.
Plenty of fun.
Jumping place.
No shortage of overturned boats.
Taking a break with a butterfly.
The tubers didn't go very fast, but they didn't care either.
The only raft on the river today.
Quite a happy crowd!
Renowned bridge debris pileup.
Beer tasting event.
Paddling through a sun shower.
Another beer tasting break.
Stopping for a swim.
Beagle fun.
What's that?
Toss another shrimp on the barbie.
Bird land.
Swinging from a truck.
The lady on the left in the blue vest didn't do much paddling.
Rope swing from the land side.
A boy and his dog.
Moving on.
The first pull-out at the eight-mile point.
The river seems less crowded now.
These dogs are ready for anything.
Lazy afternoon.
Every once in a while we found some rapids.
Ducks.
Truck picnic with music.
Not an uncommon site, sadly.
White water.
Geese
Open water.
Another bridge.
Ducklings
Decrepit bridge.
Yet another rope swing.
Party place by the river.
End of the ride.
