Excellent recommendation @Vanessa!! Thank you 😉 I reworked your trick a little but the basis remains the same 😁.
There is never a dull moment along this river. Which I just discovered elsewhere. All these piles of rocks are magnificent.
I loved it, even if the rain came and spoiled the fun a little.
