Bow River Boat Launch Report - Feb 04 2013

On Groundhog Day, Saturday Feb 02, our very own Balzac Billy awoke in the morning, popped out of his burrow, and did not see his shadow. This means we are in for an early spring this year!! (Groundhogs are never wrong, are they?) 

Given that optimistic weather forecast, we couldn't resist the urge to jump into my shuttle van, and check out the Bow River boat launches. Here's what we saw during our 190 kms trek.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Thank you to my shuttle clients for another great year.

I appreciate your business.

Kindest regards,
Michelle

P.S. I'd love to hear from our blog followers.  What town/city are you from?  What river do you consider to be your home waters?

Michelle getting the shot.

After helping out with the setup for tonight's TUC 'Fall Splash' fundraiser, we decided to go have a look at the Bow River.
