We have had to assure him on sharks on the drive up. We are usually in smaller water when we go rafting. After trying to convince him that there were no crabs in the rocks and to get out, then failing. I decided to get out. As soon as I got my footing on a nice rock. I see something move in the rocks. As I bent down to get a look this came after me. And I notice that they are all around me. So, I freek out like a girl and tell Doug to come back. If my foot moved it would get closer so before I moved to get in the raft I took this picture.
What the heck are they for sure and since when are they in water around here? I didn't think we would have stuff like that here. And were else are they. I would like to know for future refrence! I'm just a little freeked out. So, we decided to move on. I broke the other paddle 10ft from the crab infested rocks.
OK, so now we are in the middle of causey with just blades to paddle with. After a couple fast moving canoes and motor boats flew past we started getting a little frustrated but we finally made it to shore. Doug turns to me and asks me to get some paddles at Smith & Edwards on Monday. We have an activity planned for next Sat with the scouts and we need paddles with shafts and grips apparently. I guess we will have to try it again another day. Dex was ok with that.

Hey Regina,
We have paddles you can borrow!!.I have the proverbial creek we are up, but instead without a paddle, without a boat.
The 'crabs' were crawdads. They are common around here. They are like a minature lobster and are edible, although there is only a bit of meat to each tail, which is only about the size of thimble. They are actually better than lobster!
I don't think they bite, and many people actually go catch them to eat!

I had no idea. I thought stuff like that was in bigger water. I'm wondering what else I've been swimming with.
Oh Max, thanks for the info. It's good to know. Now I know what I'm dealing with. I'm just not sure if it made it any better knowing that they are common.
ewww I would have screamed like a little girl too. I can't even stand to have fish swimming with me.
Well you got your adventure in for the day, that's for sure!
Looks like fun. Carl and I and 2 friends tipped our canoe over in Causey before we were married. Lost a camera towels, gym shoes, and our pride.
