The Truckee River in mid-June
A couple days ago, with temperatures reaching around 74 degrees here in Truckee, I convinced my sister to take a walk with me down to the Truckee river for a dip. The local mountains still have some snow left on them, making for a beautiful setting for a refreshing swim.
The cold water takes some time to get used to
My first submersion was accomplished by falling backwards
Sami went head first

This was the first time I wore my watch in water since I bought it in late January. Stupidly, I used to wear my last watch all the time, even while showering. I somehow didn't think the soap-scum stuck to it was that bad. I can't believe I used to think that way just a few months ago!

Too bad, you missed it!
