Elizabethton TN
We got up early this morning and headed off to the dentist. I had asked Linda to remove the two stitches under my tongue, but she couldn’t stop laughing to even discuss it. She managed to choke out something about hitting a moving target. When I related this to the dentist, he chuckled. He took the stitches out with no fuss. We agreed to neither order a permanent crown nor schedule an extraction – I want a bit more time to see whether the cracked tooth settles down.
I passed the time on the drive to Elizabethton doing all the things I hadn’t been able to do for the last week. I licked my lips, yawned, and bit into a burrito. Ahh, the simple pleasures!
Our first stop was the outfitters (http://www.wataugakayak.com) where we learned that this river is not safe to run without a guide. The river bed is very rocky. If you step into the river, you’re likely to get your foot stuck. Combine this with the fast flow and the low temperature of 42F, and it becomes deadly. We all agreed to stick with the two reservoir lakes for now.
Dinner was a wonderful variety of foods from Pittsburgh’s Ali Baba’s. There was lamb for Kelly, and stuffed grape leaves, hummus, babba ganoush, and pita for the rest of us.
The four of us scouted the two lakes, planned our trips, and went to bed. We were all too tired for cards.
