Labor Day on the river

TJ's parents have property on the New River by Draper VA so we took advantage of the free camping and headed up with the Jeep packed, and camper and kayaks in tow. Once the camper was set and kayaks unloaded we headed up the mountain trail with the jeep just to see what's up there. Not much, just lots of trees and some rocks. Then we headed to the river with yaks in tow. By that I mean we had to carry them 150 yards to the river (and back). It doesn't sound like much but after trying to paddle upriver, over the intense torrent of raging river water, trying not to dump the yak (had our camera in a zip lock baggy), it was a struggle for these worn out ol' arms. The best part about camping on the river..........living in the same clothes for 3 days..........nice. The best part about this trip was witnessing a river baptism.........priceless.
