Swimming in the Kuskokwim

It hasn't stopped being hot here (yet).  I'm not complaining, but it's kind of foiled my plans of bringing limited tank tops and shorts, and starting no shave November early (don't judge me- it was in the 40s not including wind chill some days!)  So yesterday, I went to "the beach" with my friends and went swimming- in the Kuskokwim River.

It was cold.

But it was nice to be able to do something summer/ Lower-48ish after I had been wearing polartec and down the week before.

It wasn't really swimming perse, it was more like walk in until the water hit your knees, wait until your legs went numb, and then run out screaming.  We weren't the only ones there.  The river was busy, with people boating by and docking, more people coming down to the "beach", and float planes landing.

Diving in

Brrr!!
