Reedy Creek

We went on a walk today down by the river. It had been years since I walked along that portion of the James so it was nice to get a different perspective on the river.

Here’s a shot of what is known as the Nickel bridge (actually 35 cents these days) and the Carillon.

While we were stopping for pictures we saw two kayakers who had flipped over and were in the water. Jeez. We stood anxiously while they maneuvered over to the rocks and were able to get back in their boats. They were smart–traveling together and wearing helmets. The James river has rocks in spades. Lots and lots of rocks.

When we got back to the parking lot, one of the kayakers was sitting with a towel wrapped around him. He still looked cold even though he was wearing protective gear.
