Billy Armstrong 'Grace Under Pressure'
Secret Spot
First Timers
Difficult Run Gorge
Lately, I am getting a chance to enjoy a few lazy days of summer before heading out to Peru. Actually, I leave tomorrow morning. I finally took my first anti-malaria pill this morning. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about taking it because they have a fairly high incidence of side effects including delirium, delusions, anxiety and depression. Currently, I am not experiencing any ill effects. A little nervous about the plane flight, I do not really like to fly... control issues I suppose. I managed to procure some 'fear of flying' pills, just in case I freak out on the plane. Good thoughts only though... calm, cool, and collected.
The Potomac in the summer is a great escape, and lately, the flows have been superb... options of Center Lines, Virginia Lines, Fishladder, and high water Maryland Lines. Billy and I caught laps on 'Grace Under Pressure' and the 'Fingers' all afternoon and managed to capture a few great pics.
Mid-week last week I took a few newbies out and taught them to roll. We took a stroll through the gorge, replete with numerous 'deep water escapes', and an adventured into the depths of the cave behind the Difficult Run waterfall in the gorge. I even caught a rare run on a small side creek, about one hundred yards long, ending in a ten foot waterfall that drains a small lake in the gorge.
Suenos Bonitos...
