Kayak Trip on Floyds Fork on 4/16/2019
Home Again!

Hard to let a warm sunny day with the water up in Floyds Fork without taking advantage of it. I have found the best thing about retirement so far is the ability to JUST DO IT!
Casey texted about 10 AM the following Text: “Pretty Day” and I said “Gorgeous” and by 11:30 we were off on another Kayaking trip down Floyds Fork to Fisherville.
The water was up and there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip until we got to the railroad bridge at Taylorsville Road. Casey was chatting with another Kayaker (apparently fellow schoolmates @ Jtown HS) when the last rapid appeared and he ran into a tree and almost capsized. He did stay in the Kayak but unfortunately his Brand New iPhone XR Max (less than a month old) didn’t. The water at this point was fast moving and about 6 feet deep and the phone was no where in sight.
Luckily, he did have insurance on the phone and was able to replace it within a few days. I won’t mention that when I bought my Kayaks I also bought 4 waterproof phone carriers (one for each Kayak). and yes I did use mine.
