Spooners Creek, June 25, 2004
I was invited by Earl Gross and Marie Justen to paddle Spooners Creek. Gary Scruggs and Marie met me at the ramp. Earl was to paddle over from his house which they purchased recently.
We were waiting for Earl to arrive when we saw him come out of the finger or branch on which he lived. The strong wind immediately hit him and spun him around. He was sitting single at the end of a two man canoe. With the front end up in the air he din't have a chance in that wind.
Gary juuped in his kayak and went to the rescue. They went up to a dock and Gary got in with Earl and they towed Gary's kayak to us.
I got in the canoe with Earl and we were off on our tour. Million dollar homes were all around us with million dollar boats out front. One just built is owned by Curtis Strange.
We paddled to Earl,s place. He is near the end of a secluded creek with a dense forest across from him. He also has an island in front with a bridge to it. Lots of wild life to watch. A lovely home in a beautiful setting.
We cruised around more fingers or bays off the main channel up to the marina with all the big boats docked.
If you have never turned in and explored Spooners Creek I highly recommend that you do so.
When we got back to Marie's house, surprise, suprise, surprise! Earl ad Marie called it Elmer's Day.
There were Jim and Dean Stevens, Elaine, Earl's wife, Joanne Somerday, John, Jack and Florence Eddy.
Thank you Earl and Marie. The food was excellent and the party was great. Elmer
