very little labor in this labor day.. We did finsh hangign the new storm door.. 

aroudn 2 we got the idea to drive up the river and tube back to our place.. it was a perfect day for it.. it was 90 degrees here !

 

we pulled off at the long trail parking area and grabbed our innertubes

 

 

the water was cold.. but nice.. we put I ust by the long trail foot bridge

 

it was abotu a 2 hour float back to the house. 

 

o put a smastone on a big rock we’ve soemtimes eaten on . 

 

at one point diane and I saw a culvert e’d never explored.. we paddled over there and got out.. there as soem old train track s.. perhaps from the big wreck that was near here.. 

 

 

the culvert dates from 1926.. the year before the flood.. amazing it survived that 

 

there were 4 culverts lined up.. one for the railroad, 2 for the interstate asn one for route 2.. we decided to walk them .

 

giant spiders guarded the entrance 

\\

 

the scenery,. light and sound in the culverts was amazing.. check out the videos below
