We went from last week’s holiday busyness with its afternoon thunderstorms, to this week’s slower pace with slightly cooler temps and no significant weather.  One exciting thing we encountered was when a small, non-venomous water snake dropped from a low hanging branch into our boat.  I grabbed a small towel from my guide bag and gently coaxed it across the deck and back into the water.   The raptors were enjoying the rising air currents, two hooded mergansers were hanging out in the main basin, one lone adult  loon has claimed a spot in the upper Toxaway channel and a white egret was searching for a secluded fishing spot of its own.  Much of our time was spent swimming & playing at the waterfalls & peacefully floating.  Ahhh… the lazy days of summer on Jocassee.
