WV - May 14 Arrival till Present

      Leaving Key West was harder than I expected it to be!  I had a really good time down there.  My send-away party was awesome and I even got Iced!  For those of you who do not know what this is, come by the cabin and I will be happy to show you!! LoL  I really appreciate the friends and times we all had!  Thank you all again!!

      On April 2nd I left Key West and headed to my parent's house in South Carolina.  I spent about 10 days there doing home improvement projects and just enjoying being back around family.  I missed them and Christmas!  We started their garden and worked on the garage solar panels.  I also got to slip away to the mountains and do some paddling with my old crew!  It was a great turn out both days!  Got to run a creek and paddle the Green!

 This is a shot from near Greenville, SC!

      My visit to SC was cut a week short, due to me being need up here to start helping in the shop and on the campground.  I got up here in April 23rd and started getting things together.  I picked out my home for the summer.

     The Gear shop work is pretty nice.  I work part-time in here on Tuesdays and Sundays.  It gets me a solid 20hrs a week and I will start guiding trips on a set schedule right around Memorial Day.  For now, the Shop and campground maintenence has been keeping me pretty busy.  I like it.  It is good work. 

     Fun, is the reason I moved up here.  I have been taking full advantage of my surroundings!  I have been paddling about ten times, played disc golf for the first time, I went hiking, and checked out the local park.  This town has something for everyone.  It really is the Coolest Small Town in America!  I have been very blessed to be able to live so freely.  I really never thought it would happen!  Enjoy the snapshots from my hike!
