| Monkey Love at Silver River |
A day like this at any other place and I just go back home. Not at the Silver River. Still had a heck of a day even when it was cloudy, gray, with no sunlight at all. Glad I selected to paddle here.

Two miles into my paddle saw a troop of monkeys in the right bank of the river, near a popular stopping point. Spent a lot of time with them as no one else was there...

After the monkeys thought about going back home. Decided against it and kept paddling up river to the main spring at the Silver River...
