Breath taking sunset


Our next challenge was Looney Tunes, a long narrow stretch of river with slow current against strong gusts of wind. Our progress was made easier by tying three rafts together and rowing in unison. I was beat by the time we made camp at Mann Creek.
Our camp hugged the shore. The sandy beach was longer than it was wide. After dinner we sat with our camp chairs in a circle. Our gang sang songs. It was a joyous sound. The nature around us responded with this wondrous sunset. When the singing paused, I closed my eyes, and felt the sun and wind on my face. The only sound I heard was the ripple of the current. I felt blessed to be here.
