We rode bikes out to the Otaki River Gorge this afternoon and took a quick dip in the very cold water. It is just a half hour ride from Gregg and Carla's home. Encountered a stray cow along the way and the road appears to be a vaulted avenue through the forest for a lengthy section. The river is a popular spot for kids to swim and jump off high rock walls and some man made towers that monitor the river hight for flood warnings.
This second picture is the gorge as seen from a cable suspension bridge with a wood deck that looks to be over 300' long. Perhaps next week I will ride further up the gorge to 'the forks' and try some fishing. This trip to the river was a nice break from the on-going preparations for the cider party this weekend with nearly a hundred guests expected.
