On the long weekend of June 13 – 16, a few members of the Twin Rivers Paddle Club and the New Bern Outdoor Adventure Club joined leaders Terry and Becki Rich at Goose Creek State Park, near Washington, NC. The park is located at the junction of Goose Creek, Flatty Creek and Pamlico River.
We camped in the front county campground. Terry and Becki stayed in a tent at a lovely site in the primitive section surrounded by a mature forest of tall trees. I also used a tent, but stayed in the RV section, since those were the only sites with electricity, which I needed for my CPAP machine. The Richs and I shared a couple of neighborly visits at their campsite. We exchanged Becki’s homemade brownies for Janet Smith’s homemade granola snacks.
The weather was mixed, mostly hot, with intermittent wind. Rain varied from heavy in short bursts, to moderate, to none with bright sun.
Saturday morning Terry and Becki lead a kayak paddle trip on Goose Creek, launching from the beach between the public dock and their campsite. I did not go on the paddle, because I had some strong physical soreness, due to ailments which I am now treating.
