FEW HOURS ON BEECH CREEK

I needed to get away for a few hours where I couldn't hear any engines, talking, yelling, cars or anything.  I chose to take a canoe paddle up, Beech Creek.  Ah - total silence.

 This is as far as one can go upstream on Beech Creek.  It becomes so shallow that a risk of dragging over a rock presented itself.  This is a kevlar canoe with gel coat.  I don't want rock damage.
