Plenty of rain, but it was 55 degrees in January and I wasn’t going to stay [...]

Neuse River Expedition Photos

Here’s a sample of some of the 700 photos I took while paddling down the Neuse River.

Raw Video from the Neuse River

OK, here’s the deal. I’m at a public library in Goldsboro, and had about 30 minutes to do check email, post, etc. Both these videos are straight out of the camera, so no comments as the professionalinism (is that a word? It is now…) of the content.

Both we’re taken on a rainy afternoon (Friday, Aug [...]
