A day on the Wapsipinicon

Recent parents T-Bone and Gillymonster took some time off from their new full-time job to enjoy four hours of 104-degree heat index on the mighty Wapsipinicon River today with Grendel and Traca (photos not available). A delightful shore lunch at the halfway point was enhanced by the spectacle of three local boys dropping one after another from a rickety bridge into the sluggish brown current. Canoe Safety Boy declared, as we finally beached his aluminum vessels, that we had "made good time."
