Ran with the waterboy on his bike.  He had the day off for some reason I'm not really clear on.  Didn't care- it was just nice to have him around.

Did shred level 1 at home, then we went hiking at Raven Rock State Park.  The "Raven Rock" was rather un-spectacular, but we found another trail that went to an old pre-civil war lock & dam area, and since the Cape Fear river was low, we were able to wander out in the middle of the river on some big rocks.  The cold water felt great on the tootsies.

 Raven Rock- (the cliffs on the top)

The rocky remains of the lock & dam:

Looking upstream from the rock in the middle of the river..

What a beautiful way to spend the day! I bet the water felt wonderful. MR needs to have more mysterious days off :)

Terri- I agree!

Burt- yeah, you know..the things at the end of my foot (the one that's not a peg leg).
