A blog that centers around the CT/NYC scene at Bulls Bridge and the adventures of the extended whitewater family in the area. Not always whitewater, not always the Housatonic, but most of the time.....
A large part of the fun at T'ville is just hanging out with friends. at levels like this there are many conversations going on in the eddy as people wait for their turn to play and play they will... of course the main focus is the hole, and everyone cheering each other on it's just a good place to hang out for an afternoon Adam Bixby was back in the area to visit family and friends you'd never guess that he's been mostly creek boating for the past year how's BOB doing?!? this guy is proving what some of us have always known: you don't need a small boat to have fun. you just need to get in the water and play Jeff looks like he's feeling pretty good Selby likes to throw left so it's hard to get a good photo of him. but at least he's having a good time.
This is a fun spot that runs often in Connecticut; all year play, just different quality at different levels. This level is the high end of the "low" levels for the beach hole (a.k.a. "Whipper's Wimpy"). It's a good example of what it looks like, even though this is just a bit high and flushy. It gets more retentive as it gets lower, but also starts to get shallow. Always a trade off, but always fun too....
I hope you enjoy the split screen with the closeups on top and some sped up action just to show the line of us taking turns jumping into the playspot
Here are some photos of the post paddling fun in the parking lot. Yes. It was getting dark, but the weather has been exceptioinally warm for December and a few of us just didn't want to do anything else but enjoy mild weather and hang out together like it was summer time.
Daryl giving Jeff's flaming devil sticks a go
This photo is sideways because Daryl deserves a sideways photo (being a professional photographer and all...)
Here's D and Jeff with Daryl's trials bike. He has an open relationship with his bike so we all got to take her for a spin.
