Cypress Festival 2009
In many ways the Second Annual Greenfield Lake Cypress Festival resembled the first: it rained, the bands played on, crowds stayed away in droves, those who came out had a good (but soggy) time.
The irony is that one of the lessons we learned from the 2008 event was to have a rain date in our pocket. We did. But the weather forecast for the 27th was just as bad as for the 26th. That the actual weather on one day turned out so much nicer than the other just points out the folly of placing too much reliance on weather forecasts. There are probably some lessons to be learned from the 2009 festival. When we eventually dry out we’ll try to decipher them.
Paddling Shelter Creek
CFRW’s monthly padding series visited Shelter Creek last weekend. Dire predictions of rain were wrong, wrong, wrong. 28 paddlers turned out for ~6 miles upstream and lunch at Holland’s.
