Postcard from the Meramec

The last day of September turned out to be an ideal day for floating the river with friends. Temperatures reached the mid 80s, the water was cool; perfect for swimming. We put in at Pacific Palisades and took out at Allenton. In between there was swimming, some playful water fights, and we took a few turns on a rope swing we found. It was the first float trip for a few in our group. Some leaves were just starting to turn red and orange. We expect the fall colors should be really great in a couple weeks. Here are some scenes from the river.
