If only Huck Finn had been a kayaker...

Ah, a day on the river. The sun was just shining all over the whole place today, so I moseyed down to the river and set up shop in the sand, Scout trotting along with me. The water wasn't as high as I'd like, but it was playable. And nice and cold. So cold that me and this fellow Mike I'd just met decided we'd try and bodysurf the wave, instead of the more traditional method of using our boats. Well, if the Mulberry Fork was the gene pool, I deserved my dunking. I walked out into the current and tried to wade towards the shallow spot right in front of the wave, but for some reason I got pushed downstream. Go figure! I ended up getting tossed into the wave and washed out of it toward some rocks. Hardly the body surfing experience I'd envisioned. Luckily I had my lucky Snickers bar wrappers with me, so I wasn't hurt. Maybe I should just stick to this?
