Further up...

Just up the river from the large rocks is a rock hoppers paradise. The river is crystal clear, slow-moving & only about 1-2 feet deep in most places.


It is also a rock hunters paradise. There are so many cool sparkly & colorful rocks to find in the river.


On this particular trip, I taught Megan what a "wishing" rock was. I'm not sure where I learned this, but there are certain black rocks that have a white ring around them. I call them wishing rocks. It goes like this...if you find one, you pick it up, close your eyes and make a wish. Once you've made your wish, you throw the rock back in the river while your eyes are still closed. If you hear it land, but don't see it...then your wish will come true. Pretty cheesy eh?
