Micro-Vacation continues It turned out to as nice as expected. The weather was great and even with a somewhat late start to accommodate the FNS, we made good time getting there and did not end up cooking dinner or setting up camp in the dark.  As I was drifting off to sleep last night (missing my book which I realized I’d forgotten to pack), I had an Oops moment. I bought eggs and brought our cinnamon and syrup but I forgot the challah bread I planned for French toast this morning. It turned out fine as Robert pronounced French Hamburger Buns tasty good (especially after I remembered to add the cinnamon to the eggs).
After a hearty breakfast, we recreated our paddle and showed Sarah what the map says is Knox Island. This time, with less water, it was a bit shallow and we had to push the canoe over some parts. Most interesting was a little no-name creek (you have turn off the satellite photo from the map above to see it through the trees) flowing into the channel. What should have been upstream of the creek was downstream. While what should have been downstream was also downstream. The water level was low enough that the creek sent water going both directions around the island. And Sarah reminded me of the most spectacular part: we saw both a bald eagle and baby beaver in that little channel on the Virginia side of the Potomac. |
