R&R Time with my`72 GMC

[special-K]

Yup!Bentonville on the Massanutten side across from the outfitter.Paul lives in Rileyville and we put in at Compton.This was his 9th run this year.He wanted to see what this stretch was like with thewater gettin`low.It was still doable.We only had to push on the little diversions around a couple islands.He(we) basically usually run from up(down?)at Luray.Those are end of the year boats the outfitters sell.Anyone ever hear of The Nighthawks?He`s Paul Bell,the lead guitar player.Great guy!
Thanks for the compliments on the wheels,truck,mirrors,and framing.It`s been pretty clear and less humid this year.It`s a shame it was hazed for ya,Luke.Just this past weekend was beautiful blue skies and just the right "hot".Spring and fall are best for clarity.But,the fall colors make it a cluster fuch on Skyline Drive.
Do you guys know that Compton is the site of the oldest indian site known in the US?It`s also the deepest spot on the river,50'.It`s a cool spot where the river bends against a layered rock cliff and looks like a quarry.Great swimming hole.The current kinda takes a break there in the pool.
I need to change the bumper.Truck has new brakes.That`s from when it didn`t...OOPS!!
Oh,and I ordered camper/trailering stainless mirrors on my`92 also,cuz I like those "truck" mirrors.I put them on an`84 K30 I had,too.

I've floated a canoe under that bridge when it was low and have had to get 5 or six fellow floaters to carry a fully loaded canoe over the road to the other side; lotta fun it was; used to put in at Kelly's point Grocery on a thursday, due a short float and camp at the 'dunes', then a little longer float and camp at Compton's rapaids on friday and a long float on saturday to the low water bridge; there are some carp in that river as big as humans
