The bad news is, no new glasses.
Aug. 1st, 2011 01:06 pmSo, the hikers who fished us out of the river just found us. They found Mom's camera on the bank not far from where we fell in, and her backpack (and one of her shoes!) fetched up against another bridge a mile or so downriver. The backpack had our cabin key in it, clearly marked with our site and cabin number. So we've got everything back except for my hat and Mom's other shoe. My glasses were in the backpack, not on my face, so I've got those back. So I'm stuck with these perpetually crooked glasses, but I won't miss the headaches I get without them.
We don't know whether the camera and phone will still work, but Dad says their insurance will cover most of it anyway. I still think it's damn stupid to put anything that valuable in an unstable floaty thing on a river, but what do I know?
