Second River Trip, Why 'out' of season is the best season

First, Snoopy says Hi.

Second, this weekend a top-secret river has been floated! I've been eye-balling it for a few years now, but there hasn't been conditions that lined up where we had lots of rain to fill it, and good weather to walk through it if needed. This weekend the stars were aligned, and Kaptain Krunch, Mrs Krunch, and I took advantage of the situation and tried it.
Here is Mrs Krunch loading up her solo canoe. That is hardcore. The first 1/4 mile or so was moving water, some bumps from the bony bottom, but it was NICE. Then, we hit the lift-overs. Here is the 77th out of 1Million and Nine. It was a biggun: Kaptain says F*ck Lift-overs.

After that, the secret river turns into a swamp, and so grown over we were laying in the bottom of the boats pulling ourselves along. Blow-downs in there sucked, because it was, well, a swamp, and if you got out of the boat you sunk up to your armpits in ice cold mud.

But, once the swamp widened out... it was some of the cleanest water I have ever seen, and it was pretty amazing to paddling through an area that very few people have ever been through.

At the beach and swimming hole and we decided to take a pit stop and refuel.

From there on out, it was easy paddling, unreal.

Later, we went to the east beach boat-beach. Here is what it looks like around here in the 'off' season'. See that beige strip of sand? That is the beach. In a month and a half there will be so many freaking NYers, Mass-h*les, and whatnot sloshing around that you won't even be able to see it.
While we were fishing we watched an obviously inexperienced tool try to cross the sandbar in a DEEP V hull, with 375 HP sucking down the stern, not once, But TWICE, and get stuck. Seriously, this machine was probably $75k-100k easy. And its this guys FIRST BOAT. WTF. When he got free the second time, we hollered to tell him where the channel was (it was obvious, its the DARK water), he got pissed off and went over to take this monstrosity out of the water. Only 6 more weeks till we have plenty more of those around here, I'll be hiding out on the weekends till their gone.

Don't forget, we are just TWO WEEKS from FARTAB!!!!
