I need some new vocabulary words, because the ones I have in mind just don't do justice to the gorgeous day we had on the Chestatee River today! The large group (21) were willing to slow their pace and enjoy floating lazily downstream much of the time.  The air was chilly when we started, but within an hour, we were treated to warm sunshine as the sun climbed high enough to shine over the water instead of filtering through the tree cover.

We saw lots of turtles on the water, deer, birds, and the flight of a bald eagle right over our heads. 

After our three hours on the river, we were shuttled back to the Appalacian Outfitter's to change clothes and carpool to lunch.
