i went to visit the 2nd most threatened river in the u.s.
http://www.americanrivers.org/our-wor....nt.html
we were at a place called sprewell's bluff.

saw birdsfoot violets, trout lillies and many native azaleas...lots of granite cliffs and some serious whitewater...
we were supposed to take a 2 day canoe trip down the river and take out at sprewell's bluff but the recent deluges swamped our plans. river was way too high to canoe safely...hell, it ain't all that safe at much lower levels.
'twere just as well as friday evening severe thunderstorms with embedded tornadoes swept through the area.
tent camping isn't very reassuring in those conditions.
granma's house was much more comfortable...
we'll try again in early summer....
